Election Day!

"We got five machines -- one of them's got to work." Take that quote from an Ohio election official as your inspiration when you vote today. The Associated Press says electronic voting machines are causing headaches (and maybe stolen elections, whatever) all over the country. Some machines are just down all morning....

"I never thought I'd say this, but...can we get some help from a Web 2.0 company?

Really, right now I have more faith in a thumbs-up on Digg than in those Diebold touchscreen machines."

Breaking News!

bullAnother one of the reasons I'm cool is that I tivo Good Morning America, and watch it when I wake up, whenever that might be. This morning during the local news break the top local story was Bull on the Loose!

Am I the only one who finds this funny?

If you don't find it funny yet, the headline on their website is:

'Who let the Bull out? woof, woof, woof..'

Still not funny yet?

It happened in Newark, New Jersey!
