I had the incredible pleasure last Wednesday, September 17, of seeing David Byrne, the former lead singer of the Talking Heads. He performed at The Lyric Opera House in Baltimore. I had hesitated on going, and after listening to the new album he released with Brian Eno, I decided I had to go. It was euphoric. This concert will absolutely go down as one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Here is a sample of “Strange Overtones” from the new album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today:
This is a pretty amazing post on how people have viewed the McCains versus the Obama’s in this election. I hope some of you will read it and take a moment to think about the “elitist” comments waged against Senator Obama.
It’s rare that I complain on message boards, but the removal of a couple key preferences in iTunes 8.0 frustrated me enough to head to the Apple Support Discussions Forum. I’m glad I did. A kind user pointed me in the direction of this great post at Macworld.com that explains how to reset some of the lost preferences in iTunes 8.0.
First, the preference to remove genre when using the browse is no longer in iTunes preferences. Fortunately, you can still use terminal to remove the genre column:
iTunes 8.0 also removed the preference to hide the arrow links next that appear next to artists, songs and albums that lead to the iTunes Store. I never buy music from the iTunes Store, because I don’t like their DRM; I prefer Amazon instead. So, to remove these links, use this command in terminal:
At least she was able to recite the same Republican talking points we’ve heard for the last 7 years. Maybe before her next interview, Bush’s speechwriters will fill her in on what the Bush Doctrine is. I want more, more, mmmooorrre…
The Republicans are really grasping for straws on this one:
But the other thing about her, she does know about international relations, because she is right up there in Alaska. Right next to Russia.

You know, she, her, the experience that she comes from is, is, with what she’s done in the government. And also remember, Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia.
Many have argued that Obama is not ready to be President, that he is too young. Perhaps. I think we can be sure that he will make mistakes. Then again, what President hasn’t?
Republicans, think of your dream President, Ronald Reagan. Did he make some bad judgment calls? I’d say we can probably find one or two decisions that he made, and agree that they were bad calls. Democrats, how about our favorite President? JFK, perhaps? Let’s take the Bay of Bigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis as examples. Every President is bound to make mistakes. It’s the nature of the job.
What impresses me about Barack Obama, and makes me think that he is ready for the job, is that I think he has the patience to make decisions. He has the temperament to consider all of the options before him, and to make a wise, informed decision. I’m not worried that he’ll lie to the country in order to go to war.
Obama is idealistic, for sure. However, I think he is realistic as well. He will be willing work with Congress. This is clearly something that President Bush hasn’t done.
I’m looking forward to the debates. I think they’ll be much better than the Kerry v. Bush debates!
