Voted Today

We voted today. Early voting is great. It was relatively quick, although there was a line of about 10 people in front of us when we got there. I imagine election day will be worse.

It seems that a lot of people are taking advantage of early voting. According to the stats for our county, it looks like around 10% of registered voters had voted as of last Thursday.

In order to help increase voter registration, Google created a voter info map

Here's the video:


So make sure you're registered to vote.

McCain

Wow, Havoc Pennington does a much better job expressing how I feel about John McCain than I could have.

I used to have respect for McCain, but then he ran for President this time and seems to have lost some of his integrity.

Firefox 3

I've been trying out the Firefox 3 betas for a few releases,. Now that Firefox 3 Beta 4 has been released, I've decided to switch to using it full time.

The one downside is that one of my most used extensions, the del.icio.us bookmarks extension is not supported in Firefox 3. It makes sense, because they completely redid the bookmarks in Firefox 3. I really like this extension, though, because it allows me to see the same bookmarks on each computer I use (work, home).

Other than that, Firefox 3 is great. It seems a lot faster, definitely uses less memory. It looks like the Mozilla team has another winner.

Fun Time Sink

My friend Jim pointed me to this new site hulu. Very cool. It has free streaming TV shows and movies - you don't even have to login.
But of course I wasted way too much time watching old episodes of Arrested Development. I forgot how stupidly funny that show was.

Fedora 8 Released

Fedora 8 was released yesterday. Read the release notes for what's new. I'd already been running the test (Rawhide) version on my laptop for a while. I like it. Most things just work. I plan on upgrading the rest of the machines in the house.

Congrats to the Fedora team for another great release.
