I love covers.  When I was in a band, we mainly played covers.  Brian Ibbott has a ‘cast called Coverville.  He thought it also would be a good idea if he did a cover story of Richard Butler in June.  Again, I geeked.  Please go check him out as well.

Sa-weet!

Here’s why I’ll never handle stardom, as I geeked out when the cast of CNet’s Buzz Out Loud podcast read my letter on the air!!!  Here’s the clip of my letter (should take you to an mp3 I cut out).

Annnd here’s a link to the whole episode.  It is my FAVORITE tech podcast and I love the banter.  Thanks BOL! You made my week!

I hadn’t written since the election and upon that thought, I wish to build.

First off, my answer came election eve, and I would say that if there was an evangelical swell for McCain, it wasn’t enough.  The moment Obama won, I put the kids to bed and we prayed for our future leader to have Solomon’s wisdom.  We pray for our leaders in this house, whether we agree with them or not.

Secondly, I received this comment on my Palin post: “Seriously? I wonder if your views have changed from when you wrote this and I’m glad you are in the minority.” I laughed out loud as I read it.  Thank you, concerned citizen, but my views haven’t changed in the slightest.  It turns out the media continues to negatively focus upon Palin, and even though she pardoned a turkey while another got slaughtered behind her this week (the whole pardon thing is rediculous to begin with), I still think back to what my mother said to me the weekend after she spoke at the convention.  She said (and I paraphrase) “Finally, a woman I can look up to”.  I look forward to seeing more from Palin in the future.

And now I have two more posts to write, and am going to try the slug feature on wordpress.  This concludes 2008 election coverage for me.  Thanks for stopping by.

It’s close.

Not only is it close to the election being over, but polls disagree on what kind of lead Obama has over McCain, ranging anywhere from 1 to 9 points.  Which harkens back to the days of 2004 where the polls were not the best indicators for Kerry.  Why was this?

The evangelicals came out to vote.

Or at least that was one of the dominant reasons Bush won over Kerry as reported by, well, many news outlets.  Which knowing some of the disparaging comments Obama has made about “clinging to guns and Bibles” makes me wonder if this phenomenon could occur again.  I’m of the opinion that it is indeed a different election.  Voter turnout will be at it’s highest in years, based on returns from early and absentee voting.

Which only adds to my question to start.  Will the Evangelicals strike again and will it be enough for McCain to overcome Obama’s consistent lead?

We’ll find out soon enough.

Happy elections everyone.  Be safe out there, make your vote count, and God Bless America, no matter who wins.

Okay, major geek alert, but I caught this Nova tonight on PBS whilst washing dishes, and really how amazing is it that God was so intelligent in His design of the universe that it could be based on math.  Of course, the scientific community would almost never recognize this, perhaps it coinsides with my view of Expelled tomorrow night.  It just cannot be said enough that we have a marvellous creator.

Hey, I’ve missed you too.  We’ll talk more tomorrow maybe.
