Last week I formatted and installed Gentoo. Out of the twenty-or-so times I’ve tried to install it on this computer, this is the first time it has actually worked. (I’ve been able to put Gentoo on any computer but this one with no problem.) So I’m quite happy about this.
I’m still running Slackware on my laptop.
I just got the Hatch KS Kevlar sleeves. Now I can…throw flash bangs. And feel special, because I have kevlar.
Cryptome has info on a mysterious buldge that appeared in Bush’s back at the first “debate”.
I have carefully reviewed the image that was taken during the Presidential debates where picture was obtained from the back which show an interesting bulge. First, the President is likely wearing body amour. The jacket is not concealing the armour well and it is "printing though" his clothing. Second, there are four elements that appear to be "printing" on the back of his suit coat. While it is impossible to identify the system, we can review various equiment of the same size and shape. 1. A "box" section of the device which appears to be located between his shoulder blades, and just over his spine. This is the "bodypack." 2) A wire running vertically up his back across his shoulder blade. 3) A shadow behind his right ear may be an ear-piece, but it is difficult to tell due to the poor resolution of the picture. It would be most unwise for a public figure to use an ear piece that was visible, so this may just be a shadow. 4) There appears to be something actually IN his ear, and it is likely a monitor or cueing prompter.
Don’t miss Bill O’Reilly on the Daily Show tonight. It should be good fun.
I was only able to watch the first thirty minutes or so of tonight’s VP “debate”, but I must say I was quite surprised. Between all the regurgitation of last Thursday’s presidential “debate” and the “my pimp is better than your pimp” talk, it seems that Edwards was in the lead (if there can be one). How did that happen? I mean, Dick Cheney can just look at him and Edwards would implode. He’s Dick frickin-Cheney.
It’s settled. Solaris is by far the best song on Shango, and right up there with Navras, Teahouse, and Conga Fury as one of the best Juno Reactor songs. I also think Shango is a better album than Bible of Dreams.
Who else watched the press conference? It was great fun. C-SPAN did the split screen thing so that you could always watch one candidate listen to other’s response. I love watching Bush. He looks so…naive, bored, ignorant…something like that. Do you ever get the urge to pull his ears out from his head and have him puff up his cheeks, or is that just me? Anway, I think Kerry came out the winner in that one. I mean, I almost liked the guy. That takes something.
In other news, I just got a brand new (still sealed) copy of Juno Reactor’s Shango for $6.00. Excuse me while I sell my soul to Half.com.
