Call to ban Electronic Voting

Those of you who remember me talking about electronic voting scams recently (see Black Box Voting), please take a look at this resolution being organized by a Computer Science professor at Stanford calling for a ban on electronic voting because of the dangers of tampering. He's looking for endorsements, so if you support such a ban, go and put your name to it. And even if you don't, or know little about the issues involved, he's put together a pretty good basic set of materials to bring you up to speed on what's going on.

Mood swings

Crap. The new Apple Music Store is only available to those with a US-based credit card. Guess I'll have to wait a while before I can use it.

Woo hoo! I'm very excited about the prospect though. It appeals to a guy like me who usually buys whole albums just to get one song, and the couch potato in me hails the ability to buy singles without the need to traipse down to the local HMV.

Crap. $0.99 a song might add up, though. We'll have to see.

Woo hoo! The new iPods are yummy.

Crap. Techno-lust strikes. Time to pony up the cash for a 15 GB model, methinks. When the iFM becomes available later this year, coupled with an iTrip for the car stereo, the combination will be complete.
