fuck. bush won. (now, which country am I going to move to?) UPDATE: Dewey Defeats Truman.

Here are the Sonoma County, California presidential election results where I voted.

The people with blogs have a lot to say about Nader today.

this unfortunate measure in my home state of Nebraska has passed with a huge margin. It makes me very sad and ashamed. I think history will show that this state constitutional amendment is hateful and bigoted. There are many things I love about Nebraska, but its politics is not one of them. (I'm glad to see that Nader got 4% of the vote there. There must be some progressive closet liberals there...like I used to be.)

I'm still sick. But it won't stop me from voting for Ralph Nader. I'm not looking forward to the effort that will be required to actually go outside, but what else can I do? Go out and vote! It's your only obligation as a citizen of this country (beyond taxes and obeying laws), and it doesn't take very long. Plus, you have the satisfaction of saying things like: Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

more pictures from Web2000. No captions yet, I'm sick. ugh.

To make things more exciting today, Clinton and Gore are speaking right here! I hope I get a chance to leave the booth to check out the excitement.

Yesterday really picked up in the afternoon, so I didn't have time to update my site. I took a bunch of pictures, but was too exhausted at the end of the day to do anything with them. I'll try to catch up this weekend.

Just said hi to Ryan from laze.net. He mentioned that we need to make some tweaks to the Blogger interface for Opera.

The show seems a little mellower today. But it may pick up in the afternoon. Just chatted with Mr. Shellen himself from shellen.com.

I'll be at the show all day tomorrow. We'll be having more fun with the webcam. If you catch a good one, copy it and send it my way. I'll put together a gallery of web2k webcam shots next week.

Here are some pictures from today's activity. I'm used to sitting in the Pyra basement coding all day, so it's quite a different experience to go out into the bright world and talk to people. It's fun to talk about Blogger though, and people seem interested. It's a little tough to start from ground zero when people haven't heard of weblogs. With all of the attention to the form lately, it's easy to forget that there is still weblog evangelizing to be done. We didn't have to evangelize the format to weblog writer Carol. Ev and I had a nice conversation with her about the lack of personal/independent content/tools represented at the show.
