In 2004, I'm backing Wes Clark. As I've watched the Democratic races unfold, I feel as though he's the best candidate for me. I know there's no way we'll ever last with Bush another 4 years, so it's time to throw support behind someone new, someone I feel to be a good leader. I'm sure a good chunk of my readership is Republican, not by choice, but just because it's the regionally acceptable thing to do. I understand this, because I too, was a Republican. As I've spent time...

There's a great rapper who wrote a song about blogging over at hiphopmusic.com. It's actually of really good quality and will make you laugh. Here's a portion of the lyrics: I fill suckaz all over the blogosphere with dread walk mean streets these geeks fear to tread but every now and then I hear footsteps behind me another small timer like yourself getting grimy tiny.abstract about to catch a clapback next time you post about me, watch your trackback cuz I'm about to ping you with the real when a...

I can't say I've always been the most on-topic, or the most interesting to read blogger, but I think I can share some Do's and Do Not's to help out everyone. Seven Do's 1) Do link to good articles you've read. Build our awareness. 2) Tell everyone about your favorite music. We need it! 3) Do tell everyone your secrets. Holding things in only makes you seem more distant and boring. 4) Post spontaneously. Most of the time you'll forget what you wanted to say anyway. 5) Take and use...

I stumbled across a very interesting website this evening. Fine Waters is a site dedicated to bottled water. Sounds stupid right? It's not. They break down the water and give you the mineral content, reccomend specific waters with different foods, and can give you country-based information about foreign waters. Pretty damn interesting....

The Animal Hospital of Lubbock is where I take Lainie for her veterinary needs. I've been real impressed with the facility and the people that work there. They all love animals and it really shows. One thing though, who picked the email address?...

Moderator: Over the years, the media and analysts have always focused on market share. But although Mac market share is relatively small, Apple is profitable and is making products that affect the entire industry. Steve Jobs: Apple's market share is bigger than BMW's or Mercedes's or Porsche's in the automotive market. What's wrong with being BMW or Mercedes? Jobs is a brilliant man....

Since we last left off, Lainie the Labrador has made great strides into puppyhood. (are you tired of the puppy yet?) Lainie can now sit, as long as there's not really anything else going on. For 7 weeks, this is quite the awesome dog. Sirens, roommates, other toys all seem to be a detterent to learning, but hey, we're happy she can do this much. She's grown about 4 inches in the last week and a half. I know you think I'm probably kidding, but everyday, she's a little...

*Pete Rose does not deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. As his life dragged on under the burden of his tremendous lies, he finally decided to come clean. I seriously doubt he admitted to betting on baseball now because he thought it was the right thing to do. I think he finally realized he's going to die and he desperately wants to be in the Hall of Fame. *Puppies are generally a bad idea. I thought this was going to be a cake-walk, but it's as close to...

I love how pictures from other planets or outer space still give me the chills. I'm not looking forward to being older and losing the zeal for things like the Mars Spirit Rover. I mean, seriously, we shot a golf-cart (basically) onto another planet. How cool is that?...

this may seem like a cheap ploy to thank a new person for commenting on my blog, but it's not. ok, maybe it is, you'll never know. i'd like to reccomend lesser things as a blog to add to your daily readings. it's new and so it's only three days in, but she writes so well. after reading her stories, i want to know more about her. where she lives, what she does.. because her writing is original. also, if you're not reading the dooce, you're just not in....

I'd like to introduce Lainie, the Black Labrador Retriever. Ok, well that's not really her, but that's as close as I could get seeing as how my card-reader decided to stop working. She's a tad smaller at 6 weeks, but she's all kinds of cute. I got her because I needed some new blogging material; so with the new puppy and the stories Adam and I can gain at Open Jazz night, I think we're set. More to come......
