Bit O' Honey
The state and mood of the Democratic nomination race is pretty well summed up here. I stayed up until 2:30am on Tuesday night to watch the North Carolina and Indiana results fluctuate and stabilize into a major win for Obama. I had not been hopeful going into the night, simply because my hopes of being pleasantly surprised had been dashed by the two major contests preceding it (Ohio, Pennsylvania), and the polls indicated another night that would erode Obama’s frontrunner status. But my recently won cynicism was just as quickly dashed, and I am calm and confident that the first stage of my dream will come true in the next 4 weeks.
I bought a Flickr Pro account. Keep an eye on my photostream for impending madness. For mass uploading, I’ve switched from using Desktop Flickr Uploader to using jUploadr, which is not as good, but far more stable.
I’ve finally started using a feed reader, called Liferea. I had used iGoogle for a while, but haven’t touched it for months now. iGoogle doesn’t scale, I kept paring down what I was subscribed to to eliminate noise, but a good feed reader minimizes every feed’s impact and I can really get on with the consuming.
Time magazine has a good article on how Obama learned to win, called “How Obama Learned To Win”.
