Gay Marriage & Salmon?


Sorry for the lack of an update yesterday. It was pretty hectic with John Kerry in town & all. We went to go see him at the waterfront int Portland, OR and were treated to a sunburn, dehydration & seeing Congresswoman Darlene Hooley make an ass of herself trying to get the crowd riled up with an off-key version of "Go Johnny Go!"

To see Darlene Hooley's natural state, click here.

After seeing several other Oregon politicians get their much-needed facetime ($100,000+ salary & you still want to talk to people?) it was time for Kerry to come up to the stage, which of course meant several other people had to talk first. Not quite sure where John Edwards was, but Teresa (Kerry's wife) delivered a solid speech that was frankly a little more inspiring than Kerry's re-hashed version of his DNC acceptance speech. It was still good to see him up there, but some new material would have been great. maybe something about gay marriages or salmon.

The giant banners put up by Kerry's people...these things were seriously huge.

Gmail

In case you've been living under a rock (entirely possible in this day & age) Gmail is Google's 1Gigabyte e-mail service that's currently in it's beta phase before awaiting public release. If you have a bunch of junk in your house that you need to get rid of, this site is basically like eBay for GMail accounts, except it costs nothing to get an invite from somebody whose got one to give & wants something in return (like the junk you want to throw out).



In addition to this, GMail is creepy.

Here's the wicked shot of the day, taken by yours truly:




I'm out for the day & part of tommorrow for a friend's b-day. Enjoy the weekend & the olympics!
