Warming up to November

13 October 2004

This is so relevant and concerning to me. Check out this article featured on boingboing.net today:

E-voting: Can we count on it?

"Current e-voting machines, critics say, threaten to undermine trust in democracy because they are vulnerable to security breaches, fraud, hardware and software glitches and human error. And worse, they say, the machines produce no paper trail with which to verify the accuracy of results or trace problems." (Click here for the full article)

I'm glad someone's talking about it. Not to mention concerned no one is doing anything about it. Which reminds me, I really want to see Fahrenheit 911 before the election takes place.

Never mind the election - it's only six days to The Blessed Event!
Are you packed yet?

Hee hee. There will be mucho packingoso going on this weekend.

And if everyone plays nice and doesn't run with the scissors, I might consider posting another photo scavenger hunt.

This time Florida style!!!! And it might not be so G-rated either.

REMEMBER!!!!: No running with scissors...

I currently have, courtesy of Netflix, a copy of Fahrenheit 911. I'll bring you a copy along with your copies of Star Wars. But only if we get a photo scavenger hunt of you two in Miami...

Ooh ooh!!!!!

My answer is YES! There will be a photo scavenger hunt in Florida. Oh yes, and all will be good on the seventh day. So thy will shall be done.

I'll put a proper post together before the weekend is up. Start getting your ideas ready! And Steve, better bring in that movie tomorrow or THE DEAL'S OFF!

Hear that? The entire scavenger hunt of Le Blessed Event hinges on you bringing in that movie. No pressure.

Oh, and Welly providing the autumn photos he said he'd provide. HELLO?! What am I, chop liver here? Sheesh!

So you're saying the autumn leaves photos are a deal breaker as far as the not-so-G-rated scavenger hunt photos are concerned? But I just gave you Goldfrapp! Oh, you're such a difficult girl!
