Schneier on Security: The Problem with Electronic Voting Machines
I never really thought about the 4 things a voting machine hasta be, but I’ve definately thought about the voter verification paper trail, and that it couldn’t be _privatized_.
C’mon now… REAL political bizness is evil, here in the US
JohnBeltran – Dia Brioso
What a Friday! Just had 1 class (nihongo section) and a few 1/1’s. It was nice seein’ ya David, Aaron and Jaime. It’s cool to see you all doin’ good and still havin’ fun.
(Same with the rest of you all!) After my last 1/1, Mel brought up TJ. And since it was only 3, we could beat traffic!
So off we went.
9 adovada tacos each, a horchata and a beer later, we went up to the English speaking dude at Taco Bell and ordered 18 more (hey, its better than the 30 we got last time!).
Damn dude those things are sooooooo good. PLEASE, if you live in San Diego, or visit or whatever, go to TJ and get some tacos. Carne Asada’s always good, but its a consensus between the Mennonites that adovada can’t be beat. And if you can’t make it across the border for whatever reason, go down south to Chula or Southside or whatever and hit up Tacos El Gordo, which is TJ tacos @ US prices (1 for a buck vs. 3 for a $1! = KO! GGPO.)
After that mission, got back, and I wasted time. Mel said Patti was havin’ a get-together and was gonna roll, but she fell asleep.
So I did too (so I guess the “wow… sleeping early for a change” awymsg was still valid.
But of course Mel wakes up @ 1, calls me on the fone, and asks if I still wanna go.
An offer I couldn’t refuse.
So I went, met the Co-Op Crew, saw Tiff, Jose, Salo & Angelica, Patti (of course), Eric (con mujeres), Angelo, and who am I forgetting…
I just chilled on the balcony with the Co-Op & Tiff; Dana gave some interesting sermons bout ucsd politics and the co-ops. I could tell he was passionate about his shit; speaking with force and conviction about the urge to punch VC Watson in the stomach.
Tiff was cool as always: I really felt like you were tryin’ to get to know me better, thanks for askin me how I’ve been. I know I wasn’t too responsive, but someday, we’ll sit down and talk, like that time in….TJ
… the connections are uncanny!
Open Letter To The Democratic Party: How You Could Have Had My Vote
I really gotta start sleeping @ 2 on time…
I get asked to update this a lot. But I don’t really have the time or patience to put out a real post these days…
So I make an excuse by putting the redesign on top of my todo for website list, giving me reason to neglect posting.
I’ll actually do it someday.
In the meantime, I’ll only do posts when I’m procrastinating on hw.
By the by, Imma have 40’s Fridays starting from now on. It doesn’t always have to be on Fridays but it always has to involve fourzeros. Who wants to join me?
postscript: I randomly thought of that Chapelle line for the title. The song was a coincidence
because if you do, then you definately know that I have a limited vocabulary at times. I dunno, somehow the eloquence that I can sometimes acheive during my writings have been denied their verbal form.
“Anyway,” “definately”, “yeah yeah”, and my catch-all response, “That’s crazy.”.
Which leads me to my next point (as well as to my next post, and the next, and the next).
Anyways, forgive me once again.
I guess you could say I’ve beenliving my life “one day at a time”.
I think only a few people have the above excuse.
Those who are fuckin’ down & out. Those who lived before us, back when you had to use your own 2 feet to get around. Those who have no quarter, no roof, no property. The persecuted innocent.
I’m just a quote-un-quote military brat (not really)
Then there are those who have just turned 21…
Anyway, I have ideas for the new layout.
Grayscale Clouds Round Simple Kanji OKAY YEAH!
These words describe it, yes they do.
Once again, you can thank this Shocking New Development in Terry’s life to Clockw0rk.
Or more specifically, my good friends procrastination and the bowlings.
My new mantra: “Get your act together.”
So… on a more popular note,
Who’s keeping up with Bleach, Naruto and Samurai Champloo?
I’m up-to-date when it comes to Naruto. I’m liking where the manga and the anime are going. Though the anime’s filler sidequest was kinda stupid, I didn’t trip cuz I had other shit to worry about.
(I feel sorry for those Naruto addicts (and believe me, Naruto is a drug) who have nothing else to endulge themselves into. Luckily, I also am into Bleach. I’m around ep. 4 on the anime (I totally think Chad fucking kicks everyone’s ass. I’m curious as to his depiction the the intro though… he looks hella hollow…….. I’m also catching up on the Manga (somewhere in Vol. 4). I’m likin’ it. It’s about a dude who’s in touch with the spiritual world and is helluva tough. One day, he receives the power of Death (skeleton+black robe entity). Interesting.
Anyway, I’m getting tired and I have hella work to do.
Jah matta.
P.S. I need to connect with people. Today Kaia introduced me to Alicia White, and we 3 talked about the state of things. Anyway, the return is complete, and the away message is gone. I announce my return to AIM to noone in particular, cy’all there. Oh. And I guess there won’t be riots in the streets. Americans don’t give a fuck anymore and will not rise up against an unfit king. You know ‘the fuck I’m talkin bout.
P.P.S. Where the fuck’s Gaara?
