Megabus, originally uploaded by wrestlingentropy.

I am taking the megabus to Milwaukee. It’s a pretty cool way to travefl, wi-fi, on board movie, clean and comfortable. How cool is it to have wi-fi on a bus?

Anyway, if you go places like Milwaukee you should try it. I think it’s fun to be able to sit next to my kids and let someone else drive.

I really thought that someone, likely McCain was set to make political hay from the “bailout” plan. Looks like no one made any points here. Some weird things crept into the bailout plan. Rum rebates? Are pirates a voting bloc in this election?

Counting the “bailout” it looks like old “W” really ran up a big deficit during the last eight years. Why bother voting for the “small government” candidate anymore?

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Set in the “distant” future where the U.S. is broke and our institutions like the congress is more broken than it is today – this book blends sci-fi with hacking and social engineering. Lots of good fun except the parts that seem depressing plausible.

I was looking at the server logs yesterday. If I didn’t have a prohibition against publishing my own poetry I would try and use this list of words to create a series of awful haiku.

Google announced their new web browser today in comic form. It’s well worth the read. Even if you don’t want to use their web browser it is a fantastic software description document.

I can’t wait to try it out on Tuesday.

This made me snort out loud. XKCD rocks!
