Grokking The Election
I started watching the VP debates last night, and, after about 15 minutes of enjoying the sniping back and forth I cam two two inescapable conclusions:
- I want to see More of Sarah Palin
- Hoo, I'm Bored!
In my line of work I sometimes have to take immense blocks of data, distill them down to their essential components, and make decisions on their contents. I also enjoy visualizing information to make things easier to get an overview of their contents.
So, I grabbed a transcript of the Obama / McCain debate (since the VP debate was still going on) and do a little math on it. Here's my results.
Happy Blowuppy Day
Well, it's another July 4th in the states and I'll hunker down for a bit and watch the festivities from a safe distance. Going to a family fish fry this afternoon and will try my best to keep up with people who never use computers in their daily life.
Wish me luck.
Mac Hotkeys for Windows Users
AHK is an excellent scripting program that's been around for a number of years now. In it, you can create hotkeys and macros for Windows systems to carry out a bewildering array of tasks.
Vacation!

Had a blast. More on this topic later.
