2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

This is definitely a weird result considering the the answers I submitted, but it is telling that I don't really agree with any of the Democratic or Republican candidates. That's why I don't vote.

I read some intersting articles on Ranged Voting yesterday. I think something like that might get me voting. I could tell the candidates that I didn't like any of them, and I think it would help alternative parties to get elected.
Here is the article that spurred my reading:

The bright side is, I can say that this is the reason he doesn't remember me from the time I met him in Memphis last March.

I thought it was time for my semi-annual blog post.

I listen to a podcast called Slice Of Scifi, where they (often lamely) talk about SciFi show/movies/books, (you have to check out their VoiceMail Show where viewer call in with spoof Trailers for the as yet unmade epic video game movie "Frogger vs. Joust")

Anyway, they plugged another podcast which I think you guys might find interesting. It's the Viewer call in show hosted by the Great Old One himself. Calls For Cthulhu.

Extra tidbit:
On the last Voicemail show, someone left this little gem...

It is by joystick alone I set my Frog in motion.
It is by advance of level cars acquire speed.
Cars hit the Frogs.
The Frogs become stains.
The stains become a warning.
It is by joystick alone I set my Frog in motion.

I managed to drown my phone, so I had to get a new one. Unfortunately for my wallet, my electronics compulsion forced me to replace it with the newly discounted iPhone. This thing is really slick. The iPod features of it may be enough to let me cancel my Sattelite Radio. Essentially, as long as I sync my phone regularly, I can get Podcasts of all the NPR programs I use Sirius for downloaded to my phone for use anytime I want. Also video Podcasts and other podcasts I listen to occasionally.

I Plan on making a few improvements on this website soon. One, I am going to add a comment field for Books. And secondly, I'm going to make a table for Podcasts I subscribe to or like.

The first major issue with my car happened. My ABS light came on and the Dealer says the ABS Controller is dead. $1k to fix it. I am just hoping the car can hold out until the GM Volt comes out in 2010, and repairs don't eliminate my ability to afford one.
