About that countdown a few posts back... Well I might be staying here a little longer. Only by a few days, but it still might kinda throw things off. We might be taking a trip to Goa! Thats right, India's own hippie, beach, awesome place! It even has a genre of electronic music named after it (goa-trance), and a *great* party scene. It's definitely a good reason to postpone my return. Loyal readers, I'll keep you posted.
Politics piss me off. Our government pisses me off. Bush is an asshole, Kerry is a douchebag (and contrary to the point that site, I'm not going to vote for him). The thought of 4 more years of Bush really scares me, but I know we won't really be better off with Kerry in the White House. You shouldn't pick a candidate because he's the lesser of two evils, rather you should pick based on what you believe. I fully support Michael Badnarik and the Libertarian party because they believe in what I believe in; that we Americans are smart enough to run our own lives. We may not line up on every singe issue, but his ideas and policies are a breath of fresh air compared to Demopublican (or maybe Repocrat sounds better) tyranny. Our country needs more than two major political parties and the only way we're going to reach that goal is by supporting third party candidates. Anyway getting to the point, Badnarik was interviewed by the Slashdot readership. Here's what he had to say:

You gotta admit, bittorrent is pretty damn cool (for you fellow electronic music lovers out there, the other BT is cool too). But sometimes it really pisses me off. Chances are I've stupidly configured my client or something but two or three times now I'll be nearing the end of a large download (700+ mb) and I just can't get the final few pieces. Currently I'm about 4 megabytes away from watching Dr. Strangelove, but I've been stuck there for a few hours now. Argh.
Hello readers. I've uploaded my pictures from the TU rock climbing trip. Check them out for some cool aerial shots of Bangalore and lots of 'computer nerds pretend to be outdoorsy' wackiness. http://www.jboutros.org/pix/TU2k4
Don't adjust your browser, things really are different around here. I've changed to Movable Type and finally got this thing back up and running. Sorry for the month long hiatus. Since I love countdowns, here you go.
