Yesterday I spent in court. The first time that I have ever provided witness in a criminal proceeding.
Some of it was quite interesting while the rest was intolerably boring.

Thoughts...
What do I think about programming in general?
What do I think about music?
Did you know that computers and music are both binary languages? Very interesting that. I think there is something very revealing in that fact. Despite the fact that many people have found my two career paths as oppositional I have always seen them as extremely compatible.
Music
I'm listening to The Eagles "Waiting in the Weeds" from their latest double album effort. It is a good song. One of the best on the two disc set. The set was a little disappointing honestly.
There are many songs that were written by others. With so much writing talent within the band, I found it surprising that it would be necessary to go outside of the group for material.
"Frail Grasp on the Big Picture" is a great song. Classic Henley. Political gold.
"And we pray to our lord, who we know is American" Great stuff.
I've been getting into a lot of female artists lately. It started with me going back and picking up Alanis Morrisette's "Under Rug Swept" which I wanted to get when it was released but for some reason I never got around to it. I loved it so I bought the other stuff that I was missing.
Politics
Still waiting to see what Hillary is going to do. She will definitely stick around for West Virginia, maybe then she will get the hell out. We shall see.
Just heard the term "Islamofascist" from Bill O's lips. God I hate that term. It is just meaningless to me. Completely contrived. Check out the Wikipedia entry for it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamofascism
I think you will agree with me on the misuse of the term fascist to describe these radicals.

Seriously! Get Out Hillary!
Last night, when Hillary gave her 'victory' speech, I was wondering what she was going to say. I mean, even at the time she had won by what could only be described as a narrow margin. And then as the night wore on, it became clear that she might not win at all. So now that it is official that she won by a whopping 2% of the Indiana electorate, what does she do now.
Well, near the end her speech last night she seemed to starting the beginning of a way of stepping out. So we shall see. She was thanking everyone for their help in the campaign.
Just get out and do us all a huge favor!

New Dreams
Sometimes the dreams that we have for ourselves don't pan out. When that happens we must learn to revise our dreams, dream new dreams, somehow find new sources of inspiration. This is what will keep us alive and vibrant. This is what will give us a new sense of purpose.
Desire is a prison.

My Wife's Birthday!
Happy Birthday Honey!
She knows that I love her even though I can be a real big jerk sometimes. I'm a very lucky man indeed.

Mike Doughty's New CD
Entitled "Golden Delicious" Doughty's new offering is filled with the witty, catchy, stick-in-your-ear sort of tunes that he so well known for. Starting with the politically tinged "Fort Hood" he sets off to rage against the idiocy that is the Iraq War and war in general.

John Edwards Puts W. In His Place
John Edwards bought time last night on MSNBC, after the president spoke,
to rebut the points that W. was trying so feebly to make. I think John
did a great job. Check it out.
