So Long Old Friend

Yesterday was a very sad day for myself, and a great many people across the nation.   Tim Russert has passed.   I don't think I can recall a sense of loss regarding the death of a person I've never met the way I feel regarding Tim Russert's passing.    He was a personal hero of mine.   Tim, thank you for all you did for our country and for our mutual home town.  I have always been so proud of the fact that Buffalo was the place where I grew up, and seeing him every Sunday morning on Meet the Press was a constant reminder of the greatness and quality of people who inhabit my home town.   You will be missed Tim.   Thank you once again.

Just had to share

Kitten showed me this today and I just had to share.

Catching up a bit...

Hey folks.  It's been awhile since I've just brain dumped on the internet so I thought today would be as good a day as any.

Topics of the Day:

• International Relations - Thom York has my girlfriend.  I'm  a little wistful today as I miss my Finch.  She's off touring France and seeing Radiohead.  I am excited for her and sounds like she is having a great time.  I'm glad Radiohead only tours every 5 or so years.
• Podcast Update - As mentioned in previous posts, the first episode of the podcast that I co-host is available for download.  We should be recording episode #2 sometime this week.  You don't have to listen to it just because you love me.  (But it would rule if you did.)  It is a podcast centering around my favourite video game Team Fortress 2.   If you are interested in listening you can find the show on our website.   We are also available through iTunes.  (We are not searchable on iTunes yet, but if you click this link while iTunes is open on your computer it will take you to where you can subscribe.)
• Politics - Not news anymore that Obama is the Democratic Presidential Nominee.  He will be my choice for president.  I think that ether way things turn in the election we will have a good man in office.  I choose Obama as my candidate because I feel at this stage in our nation's history the upside potential of Obama surpasses that of McCain.  The way I see things.  No matter who wins things will get better.  Obama is an unproven commodity to be sure.  However, I think that it is a chance worth rolling the dice on.   My good friend and fellow blogger The Automatic Rebalancer has been posting lots of interesting articles pointing out the flaws in my candidate.  My question to him then is why should I vote for McCain instead?  Other then experience what sets him apart as the superior person to lead our country?
• Music - Kitten sent me this YouTube link.  It's pretty darn groovy.  I can't get this song out of my head.  The band is called "The Wombats".  This is their song "Let's Dance to JoyDivision."  Enjoy.

And...we're live!

That's right folks our first episode is out!  You can download it from our website. Be gentle!  It's our first time.  Hope that you like it!
