Not Going Anywhere?

Yes, We Can
"In the unlikely experiment that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." (Barack Obama, 8 Jan 2008)

Hope.

If there's been something missing in this country for the past eight years (arguably more), it's been hope. Especially in the last year, as we've watched our economic structure collapse on itself, as we've watched our energy costs soar, and as we've watched the ticker reach 4000 casualties of war in Iraq, hope has been missing.

The usual politicians have taken their places at the podia, spouting the usual things about the usual topics and in many ways, this election doesn't seem all that different from the one before, and the one before that, and the ones before that.

Then came Barack obama, and for the first time since I started paying attention to the American presidency, back when Perot made his bid, I find myself inspired by a candidate.

Inspired by his message of hope. Inspired by his message of change. Inspired by his message of unity and humanity.

And that's why I know this candidate is extraordinary in a field that is all too ordinary.

Yes, we can.

Water me!
With this little contraption from Botanicalls, your plant can now contact you when it needs watering. Not so pretty--like looking at a computer with its case open--but really cool from a techie standpoint.

Now, if only they'd make a corresponding automatic watering system that would take input from Botaincalls, my plants may actually survive.

Via Slashdot.

Did the primary buffer panel just fall off my gorram ship?
Today, I flew back to Los Angeles from Ottawa, with enough time to get rested and join some people for the New Year's Eve festivities. That's the summary. The long explanation is far more colourful.

How It All Ends
