NIGHTMARE

Last night I dreamed (once again proving the BiPAP is doing its thing) that I met up with, slept with and impregnated a gal who I had a major crush on back in high school.
::shudder::
And to top it off, my thrice-damned subconscious skipped over the impregnation …process. Truly a horrific dream.

Crazy. Now it is clear why my bike’s throttle cable broke when it did. The universe likes to torture me.

Election Day

Ever have one of those nightmares that you show up in class for the final exam and suddenly realize that you didn’t attend class all semester and you have no idea what the material is about? Or alternatively you show up in any given class having forgotten to do your homework (and usually you’re wearing only your underwear)?
I’m feeling like that today. I did manage to dress myself, but I didn’t do my homework. Should I go to the polling place and vote for those few issues/candidates that I do know about? Should I vote at all? To paraphrase Penn Jillette, should I vote even if there are no candidates worth voting for? Should I refuse to settle for the lesser of two evils?
Update: Jeff Croft has more to say on the subject. I used to say, “if you don’t vote you can’t complain,” but I’m not so sure anymore. I mean none of the candidates represent my point of view. Even if the candidates did what they said they’d do in office, they don’t reflect my POV.
I forgot to include a mention of Scott Adams who often says he doesn’t vote because he doesn’t know enough about the issues so he’s not qualified (of course he goes on to say that almost nobody knows enough to vote).

Things you don’t see every day: HDR Images + How to create them. I’ve read a bit about HDR images but the thing that struck me most about this post is how much the images remind me of City 17 in Half-Life 2. Throw in the HDR features of the Lost Coast HDR demo and bob’s your uncle:

“This is definitely not the most trusted person in America”

“The Rev. Ted Haggard denied the prostitute’s allegation that the two men met for sex as often as every month for the last three years. But he did say that he had visited the prostitute for a massage and later called him more than once to buy methamphetamine — a drug used in some gay circles to heighten sexual sensation.” I guess he didn’t read that part in the bible that says, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” That or he didn’t realize he lived in a glass house.

Cool Aquarium

I’m not much of a fish person, at least not since I inadvertently killed the goldfish I won at a carnival as a child. But this aquarium could change my mind. But I think it would look cooler with round tubes not rectangular.
