Tuesday October 5th, after coffee time

Vice-presidential candidates face off

Today marks another great day in America's elections -- the debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards. The New York Times headlines: "Cheney and Edwards Split on Iraq Policy." Seems like that's a little obvious; not a very good headline.

Overall, the debate was pretty interesting though. When gay marriage came up, the discussion inevitably turned to Cheney's daughter. Edwards politely used this as an example. Cheney, in turn, simply thanked Edwards for his "kind words" and chose to forgo his remaining 80 seconds of response time.

The rest of the debate was generally more interesting than last Thursday's between Kerry and Bush. Cheney and Edwards were actually responding to each other's arguments. Kerry and Bush were much less 'interactive.'

New York Times reports (read: buys AP article) on Dutch government websites

In another recent goof-up, The New York Times reports that Several Dutch government Web sites remained offline Tuesday after an attack by hackers protesting unpopular policies of the right-wing Cabinet, the government said.. Darn right-wing CDA! In addition to this, the article has a less-than-stellar explanation of what a Denial of Service attack is.

And in my humble little life department...

After much deliberation I have settled on a Kodak DX7440. It's a little bulkier than the Nikon Coolpix 4200 (which I was considering earlier), but has a few more features. It also looks/feels a little sturdier.

Beyond going to the mall, I didn't do much of interest, unfortunately. More news & pictures as they occur...
