Life logging?

Here's an interesting post Internet life experience for you, coming across photos of yourself taken either unbeknownst to you, or before you can really remember exactly, both posted by complete strangers on flickr!

Nancy Pelosi vs George W. Bush, re his 'plan'

In an interview, Pelosi also said she was puzzled by what she considered the president's minimalist explanation for his confidence in the new surge of 21,500 U.S. troops that he has presented as the crux of a new "way forward" for U.S. forces in Iraq.

"He's tried this two times - it's failed twice," the California Democrat said. "I asked him at the White House, 'Mr. President, why do you think this time it's going to work?' And he said, 'Because I told them it had to.'"

Asked if the president had elaborated, she added that he simply said, "'I told them that they had to.' That was the end of it. That's the way it is."

Wow, that's tellin' 'em skippy.

Jim just posted this over on NMK, Check it out!

[these are] "Four pages of our forthcoming graphic novel Therefore Repent! were published in the winter issue of Taddle Creek magazine, which was great. Taddle Creek dusts off the concept of the literary magazine and allows one to appreciate the quality and yes, even glamour, beneath. A mainstay of Toronto's writers for the past decade, TC publishes excellent fiction, urban history, profiles where writers are given the star treatment - and they throw great launches.

shocker...

Something from the recent news i read this morn....

Fifty-nine per cent of Quebecers admit to being racist to some degree, according to a Léger Marketing survey published Monday in Le Journal de Montréal.

In comparison, only 47 per cent of those outside Quebec say they are racist to some degree.

Among Quebecers, most (43 per cent) said they were only mildly racist, while 15 per cent said they were moderately racist and only one per cent responded that they were very racist.

The findings stunned Jean Dorion of the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste.

"I do not perceive the Quebec society as being racist," he told Le Journal de Montréal.

...No? Jean is white and french, btw.

Much in the same line of old new news, Conservative Party Links to Right Wing American Groups.

I like this pen :)

I always try out new tools, to see what i can get out of them. Increasingly I use this more and more. A Pilot Hi-tecpoint v7 grip. Its basically a ball point constructed like a technical pen. A good replacement for felt tipped Microns and Pilot DR pens. The v7 is longer lasting I find that either of those, hardier and more durable, it's only real drawback being that the ink can smudge, you have to allow for it to dry much like with India ink. But despite that, its very nice ink, fast and fluid, and it gives a subtly variable line ideal for expressive detail work that isn't overly fussy. Good for work that needs to be tight, but expressive in the same ways a brush can be.

There is always hope on the horizon

Barack_Obama & Hillary_Rodham_Clinton

So yah, imagine them as a double bill? Clinton has the greater experience and popular appeal, so she'd get top job for sure, with Obama as vp?

that would be interesting.
