Quixotic Bravado

• Attempting to migrate to Safari/Webkit as main browser and put Firefox on the bench; making list of customizations/plugins I’ll be needing.

• Just sat through first full soccer game with @antthelimey. Manchester United beat the crap out of his team Arsenal.

• During Olbermann’s "World’s Worst" segment on MSNBC, they had a picture of a bitter McCain. The dog stared and then started growling.
• T is sick and taking off work. Frantically trying to get through to florist to re-route flowers that were being sent there.
• The didgeridoo we bought in Australia has arrived! No idea how to play it, but it looks pretty.

• One more line item for career achievements: collaborative t-shirt design, via phone, IM, and email.
• A week ago I was enjoying the summer weather of New Zealand, this morning, I’m back at home and it’s an ice rink outside. *Sigh.*

• Netflix just sent me an email informing me they just told HD-DVD to eff off. Blu-ray player recommendations?
• Why are Chili Cheese Fritos so hard to find on east coast. Saw local conv. store had a few so I bought all of ‘em.
• @JasonCalacanis: Had teeth done yesterday. Sharp teeth feeling nice, hygienist putting her heel in your eye for flossing leverage isn’t.

Score one for the power of YouTube and how much better Democrats have been at leveraging the Internet in this campaign. If you haven’t seen these yet, first is a video supporting Obama called “Yes We Can.” The second is a great parody of the first for McCain. A double viral win for Obama.

Obama ‘08: Yes We Can

McCain 08: Like Hope, but Different

So we just got back from our South Pacific adventure. Over 26 days, Traci and I traveled around 40,000 miles and through 3 countries. We traveled by boats, trains, buses, planes, helicopters, a camel, a gondola, walking, swimming, and jumped off a bridge for good measure. We were on top of a glacier, out in the desert, the plains, a rain forest, the wide open ocean and on the waters of Milford Sound surrounded by spectacular fjords.

This is just the highly compressed version of our adventures. Once I recover from the 32 hours of non-stop travel and sort through some more photos and video, I may have more detailed adventures to tell.

Traci and I at Uluru.

Some kangaroos we fed and petted.

Dunk Island.
