Hrm. It's not a snowboard. I give it a big

"Who wants a mustache ride?!" "When the boys get that syrup in them, they get all antsy in their pansty" "The snazzleberries taste like snazzleberries!"

geisha was good, but i agree with your ending. I read it right before travelling to japan (and kyoto) and was lucky enough to spot a few geisha and see Gion with my own eyes. I wish to know now what happens inside those tea houses... Under the Banner is a good book and like all of his, a real page turner...

9/11 Commission Final Report : It's actually written quite well!

TENNIS too?!

My fav part of electoral-vote.com Are the voters stupid? It is not considered politically correct to point out that an awful lot of voters don't have a clue what they are talking about. A recent poll from Middle Tennessee State University sheds some light on the subject. For example, when asked which candidate wants to roll back the tax cuts for people making over $200,000 a year, a quarter thought it was Bush and a quarter didn't know. And it goes down hill from there. When asked which candidate supports specific positions on various issues, the results were no better than chance. While this poll was in Tennessee, I strongly suspect a similar poll in other states would get similar results. I find it dismaying that many people will vote for Bush because they want to tax the rich (which he opposes) or vote for Kerry because they want school vouchers for religious schools (which he opposes).

Yea. the sublinks are broken. Once you get into a section you can't get out. How do you not notice that? Any two-bit novice web programmer should be able to create that simple site that it is.

Ya know, they must've figured that they could get him on the run and to see the audience laugh with stewart and at them was sweet!

I only encode in 192k MP3 and listen on my laptop with foobar2k. It has a tiny footprint and allows you to set the buffer size. No real cool features though, except you can minimize into the systray. Otherwise, I use WMP10.

They have complete packages (board, boots, bindings) on ebay for like $269. Are they any good? It'd be for a beginner (though to maintain my machismo, i'll point out that it's not for me. I am an excellent boarder that could take you all on, of course). What's the rule of thumb on board sizing in the NW? CHin height for a beginner?

it's obvious that the reason she goes so fast is because god wants her to win.

Oh yea? Where do you work? 1st & jackson ... corner penthouse loft with the flowers and trees on the roof ohhhh...the penthouse! so lavish! I probably see you out and don't know it.

Oh yea? Where do you work?

Yes.

Anybody looking for a java or .net development job, let me know. Hiring senior devs, QA, and PMs as well. Need to hire 10-12 people in the next four months. The company is theplatform (www.theplatform.com). We've been around for over four years now and our core product is a web service for managing large amounts of digital media. Our customers include CNBC, Microsoft (shocking!), Bank of America, and Comcast. The office is in Pioneer Square and we have a fun, yet dedicated employee base. A lot of us have been here for 3-4 years. We do not pride ourselves on long hours. We just expect people to do their work and do it well. We don't do overnighters or work weekends or anything else silly that a lot of tech companies like to do. Cheers. And no Pax, no biologists needed. ;> --tim

I'm not sure where to start. Why does it matter that his generals didn't know he didn't have chemical weapons? I think it just points out that Bush was also assuming and was quick to rush to war. Did this come directly from Fox News or did you write this yourself?

I don't see how it's sliwmy. The question was how is the republician party treating you because you have a lesbian daughter. That might not have been how she phrased it, but by god that certainly was the question. I'm sure a lot of people weren't exactly sure what the commentator was talking about and Cheney like alawys beat around the bush. Edwards came out and clarified the question and his response. I know it didn't happen often during the debate, but we shouldn't be upset when somebody actually gives an answer to the actual question asked.

Uhm. Is she not gay? Is it wrong to call somebody who is gay, gay? i'm confused. What did he do again that was wrong?

It's interesting to see what everyone thought. I was surprised to hear that many people thought Cheney won. I listened to the debate on the radio so maybe that played a factor? I didn't see facial expressions or reactions, etc. Both my gf and I thought Edwards did better, especially towards the end. Cheney really didn't have anything to say about domestic issues and about 2/3 of the way through the debate i realized that he really didn't have much to say about anything. His biggest (and well done, i might add) offense was the voting record of Edwards, but it came so early on that I thought some people might forget about it, especially after the Halliburton stuff. I do think that Cheney is much better at telling a lie and making people believe it then Edwards. In the end I thought Edwards won. To the democrats, they are saying that is all they need. That John Edwards is suitable for the VP could make up somebody's mind. I thought the gay reference by Edwards was not at all mean or sick. If you remember, the question from the moderator was about Cheney's daughter! Edwards backed Cheney basically.

I love baker and am having the same thoughts myself. If i had bought a pass last year, i would've come out just about even. It's a great hill though. No lift lines and wonderful powder on a regular basis. There seems to be fatty spots to hit everyday.

My gf is running in her first marathon this weekend and I was thinking about getting her a cool new GPS watch or at least a runners watch as a present. Anybody have any ideas? Must be really small and stylish. Currently she has this bigger watch that uses radio IO to connect to a box you wear on your arm that links to GPS. It's pretty big and bulky.
