If you haven't seen Dr. Horrible's Song-Along Blog, you need to. You can check it out for free on Hulu.com. It stars Neil Patrick Harris and that dude from Firefly/Serenity. It's awesome and only 43 minutes long. Check it out while you're not teaching kids for two weeks.

Or It's been a long time since it felt like a Democrat REALLY wanted it.
Here is an article about what Obama is going to do with all of the money he raised in September, and slightly more interesting is this article about how Obama has placed ads in video games Guitar Hero and Madden.
On the other hand, John McCain has very little money to spend. He is pulling money out of Colorado, Wisconnsin, Maine, New Hampshire, and Minnesota.
Here is a little pic from the FiveThirtyEight.com site's Scenario Analysis. The chances just make me feel good.
Or In case it hasn't been lost/stolen yet.
Thank WS for this one. This program is a free substitute for Lojack for laptops (I did not know what Lojack was until hearing about this one). Basically using IP address and a few other things this program logs where it is about every 30 minutes. It also takes a picture of you using the built-in-camera (Macs only) on average about every 30 minutes (though it is random so you can't know when it's coming up next).
All of this data is saved on a server and can be accessed from any computer and only by you. The data is protected by intensive security (I belive RSA encryption - the best in the biz - at least until quantum computers are viable) so no need to worry about embarassing pictures finding their way into someone else's hands.
So let's do a hypothetical. You're computer gets stolen and you don't have Adeona. You tell the police. They say sorry and "do you have renter's/home owner's insurance?" And that's about it.
Your computer gets stolen and you do have Adeona. You tell the police. You go on the internet and grab your data. You now have the location of the computer, oh and by the way, you have a picture of the person who last used it after it was stolen. And you can update the police with new locations and pictures if they need it.
That is the third best thing about Adeona. The second best is that it is FREE. The first best is that it is OPEN-SOURCE.
