Does anybody else out there guilt-trip themselves about not doing the daily blogging-duty?

I know I am. But by the time I'm all revved up and ready to write a scalding essay about something, it's usually time to either a) work on my real job, b) cook dinner or c) watch The Daily Show, my one source of news I truly trust, because it's fake and yet true.

Since I'm momentarily taking time out from life to blog anyway, I might as well list a few things I think are worth writing about:

- For those of you who have wondered what I'm up to: been busy shooting an assignment for Bend Living Magazine. Since they have exclusive rights to the pics though, I cannot display them online. You just gonna have to go and buy the December issue, I guess ...

- My sister sent me this link, which is freaking hilarous: a Boom Chicago video of the trials of voting with Diebold (and for John Kerry).

- Dane wrote this ultra-cool Photoshop tutorial on distressed effects. I've got to try that out! Thanks for the brain dump, dude.

- And last, but not least - Microsoft sucks. Of course I knew that way back when, but it's getting more and more apparent as time goes on. My Windows Update function won't leave me alone, and although I've downloaded the stupid security fixes more than once already, it's getting to the point, where I'm tempted to simply shut the thing off. Why oh why couldn't they make an OS that actually works?

The mystique of that will forever stand side by side with eternal questions like "Which was first? The egg or the chicken?" or "Are we truly alone in the universe?" or "If a mime get hits by a tree in a forest - does anybody care?".

This concludes today's broadcast. Unlike CNN, it's uncertain when this station will air its next broadcast.
