It really looked like Joe Biden's wife may have been drunk last night.
When they came out on stage after Obama's speech, Biden had a really
tight hold on her (in an awkward fashion). It also seemed as though
she wasn't walking straight. Last observation - a pic on the front of
the washingtonpost.com showed them all standing on stage, and Michelle
Obama had a death grip on Mrs. Biden's arm.
Just curious, if nothing else.

"Redeem Team" - the headline on ESPN.com is "Redemption"
Is our country's future and reputation built so strongly on one sport? Or is it that we were just so totally unprepared and got cocky the last few years? Not sure, but it's nice to be back on top.

It's amazing how two so very similar words - sportsmanship and
gamesmanship - can mean two so very different things. Is a sport not a
game, and vice versa?

Uh-oh.
Across the room, Jeanne Jeong sits with her back to a large poster of Obama's face. Like many in the office, she is young, at 18, and local, having recently graduated from Broad Run High School.
"I've read a couple items about [Obama] on Wikipedia," she says with a giggle. "I think he is really intelligent and brings a lot to the table. I'm also a fan of his health care plan."
..."without a doubt, the most sophisticated piece of technology you will ever..." - well - you'll just have to watch.
Did you catch the Men's 4x100 freestyle relay Monday night (about 11:20pm)?? It was...incredible...inspiring...unbelievable. Pat Forde over at ESPN.com sums it up: "What transpired during the final 50 meters was the stuff of Disney movies."
Edit: Check out the video here.
Not my quote, but it's good enough for the blog:
"The Pocketing of the iPhone is an essential component to the 21st Century Gentleman's morning routine."
[This as a result of my conversation with another iPhone owner after confessing that I forgot mine at home today.]

My car just wouldn't start the other day. Seemed to have plenty of battery power, but I'd just get a "click" when I turned the key. I popped the hood, obviously didn't have any clue what I was looking for, and went inside. I came back out 10 minutes later and just gave it a whirl. It cranked right up! I'm wondering if something was a little loose and just needed to slam of the hood back down to get it in place.
Kind of reminds me of when one of the urinals at work kept running. It had been happening for a while. An experienced man was also in the restroom and said, "Just tap it on the top." A little fist to the top and it stopped. Something about the seal being a little off and just needing to be jiggled back in place.
Sometimes that's all it takes.

have done all possible to rid themselves of said structure.
A corollary is "hypocracy" - Governing in one way until it suits you
to govern in the completely opposite way.
Just after that debacle, Alaska's Sen. Ted Stevens, the father of the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," encountered Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, the antipork crusader who had held up many of the projects so many members believe are the key to their re-election. Mr. Stevens said, "Well, Tom, I hope you're satisfied for helping us lose the election." Mr. Coburn replied, "No, Ted, you lost us this election."
Mr. Coburn's main point on earmarks is that senators must choose between a culture of parochialism and a culture that puts the national interest first. He stipulates that few members are corrupt, and that most go with the flow. He has even offered to release his holds on earmarks -- if their sponsors will propose reducing federal spending elsewhere, so "we aren't just dumping more debt on our kids."
They may not like it, but Mr. Coburn is showing Republicans how the GOP can return to its small government roots. Consider Ronald Reagan, who in 1987 vetoed a highway bill because it had a mere 121 earmarks in it.

Here's the latest email from our Tech Dept:

Those were the words of the cheese man - yes, you heard (read) me correctly - the "cheese man" at Wegmans. My Dad and sister could go to Wegmans every day to look for new and exciting things. This particular day, they decided to get some fancy cheese. This gentleman, John, said that his most favorite cheese is called Trugole.
He said, "It's like a symphony in your mouth. It's like a Rossini!!"
To the everyday person, that wouldn't mean much. But Rossini - my gosh - is composer of the "William Tell Overture." If you have 6 minutes, watch the video below. The music will be very familiar. And think about a bite of cheese - starts mellow and smooth, and then BURSTS into incredible flavor. [Now, if only it didn't cost $10.99/lb!]
Edit: I think the funniest part of this entire video is when the music gets really ambitious and the spectators' umbrellas are bobbing up-and-down to the music. Almost like they can't contain themselves. Hilarious!!
I finally upgraded my system software to Mac OS 10.5. It has "300" upgrades - most of those are just minor tweaks to already great software, like Mail, iCal, System Preferences, etc. But one HUGE addition to the system software is a little utility called "Spaces."
Spaces allows you to organize your application screens into separate windows. For instance, I have Firefox set to run in Space 1. iTunes and iPhoto will run in Space 2. And Mail will run in Space 3. Switching between the "Spaces" is as simple as F8 and choosing the window I want, Cmd-Tab to the application I want (automatically switching to its "Space"), or using the menu at the top of the screen.
Clutter - you're history! Now if only my desk were so easy to organize....
