The death of e-mail →
“The sense of loss I feel about the decline of e-mail has less to do with how we communicate than with what we communicate. The means by which we deliver a message affects its content.”

– George Carlin (via boringloser)
Watching some HGTV. It seems like it is harder for me to get to sleep on Sunday nights…maybe it is thinking about everything I’ve gotta get done Monday (or maybe the English Breakfast Tea for dinner).
Green and Me
Green is not something I’ve always been interested in. I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire life and it took me until my mid-20’s to care more than a little and until my late-20’s to care enough to start changing my life. When I was growing up “Environmentalist” was a bad word, with negative connotations - somebody who cared about nature or animals...

My grandma just sent me this email forward. I usually hate forwards but this one made me laugh. Anyone who is a parent knows just how true this is!
Portland's Wi-Fi network coming down →
I live a couple of hours away from Portland so (obviously) I never used this but it is really cool they tried it out. I wish my town had free wi-fi - ad supported would be fine by me!! Sad it didn’t work out - it is a neat idea.

“The Four Agreements: 1. Don’t take anything personally - It’s selfish and there are always other factors and other variables effecting people’s actions or results. You’re not the only one. 2. Don’t make assumptions - I’m sure that most of the world’s fights and problems would be resolved if we stopped making assumptions. All of them. 3. Be impeccable with your word - Be...

My preschooler loved, loved the gummy bear video when he first saw it. I think we watched it about a hundred times. :)
Gas Prices (Find the cheapest by Zip Code) →
The ironic thing about this is that I have to drive like 10 miles to save a few cents on gas which I’m pretty sure defeats the purpose…

Too much on my mind tonight and can’t sleep. My brain needs an off switch…

Movies
Finally got around to watching Juno last night. After so many people loving it and others thinking it was not-so-great I wasn’t sure what I’d think of it. I really enjoyed it - more than I expected to.
Watched The Bucket List tonight. I also liked this movie…but probably less than I liked Juno.

It is refreshing to see someone disagreeing with McCain doing so respectfully.

The Choice →
Good conversation. I see a lot of problems with both Conservatives and Liberals. I don’t think anybody has it all together, but we are all entirely content to look down our noses at others. Lame.

Disappointed
Got sucked into Heroes and watched the whole first season on Netflix (instant). Just started Season 2 tonight, and I’m already feeling disappointed. :(
Disqus Blog » A Commenter’s Rights →
So what are a commenter’s rights? I’m going to make an initial attempt to materialize what some rights should be. a) The ability to edit and remove their comments b) Access to all of their comments, even if it has been deleted on a blog c) The right to use their own comments as blog posts. After all, a commenter is just a publisher not writing on his own website. d) A life for the comment beyond...

– Kurt Vonnegut (via travors)
Here's what I think...
Barack Obama won the Democratic primary election because he captured the heart and imagination of the American people. He won through inspiration. Hillary Clinton didn’t lose because she is a woman.
I am not trying to take that away from him. He deserves the place he is in as the nominee - he earned it.
Obama wasn’t sexist. But I think the media has without a doubt treated Hillary...
congrats to obama! on to the general election…

Apologetically American
heather-rivers:
I love traveling, meeting people from all over the world, and comparing and contrasting our respective life experiences. It’s a fun and fascinating process and I’ve made some very good friends along the way.
But this year, being the only American in most situations, I’ve grown so weary of apologizing for where I was born. In particular, whenever I find myself in a group of...
