Get out and vote
If you are in the U.S., this is the day to exercise your right to vote. Either participate in the process or sit back and accept the consequences. We as Americans owe it to ourselves and to the country to take part in elections, since these days about 30% of eligible voters participate, meaning that politicians only have to fool 16% of the voting public in order to win their supposed "mandate" to rule the country, the state, the city, or the neighborhood.

A little off-topic earthquake talk
It is interesting to read some of the coverage of the huge 7.9 earthquake that hit 75 miles outside Fairbanks in Alaska on Sunday afternoon. Even though it was one of the 10 largest quakes in U.S. history, it caused little damage due to the remote area where it hit. Tim Egan writes about its magnitude in the New York Times. But even more interesting is the distance that the shock waves from the quake traveled, which the San Francisco Chronicle talks about. Meanwhile, the aftershocks continue to pile up with the email notifications landing in my in box from the USGS near real-time earthquake list.

Then again...
It looks like the problems I am seeing with MNJ are not all Radio's fault. My FTP server is choking and very slow to dole out the site, so that is why it is taking forever for the archives calendar interface to load each time Mac Net Journal loads. Still digging...

Once again, Radio has broken my site
I am trying to figure out what went wrong with my site last night, but it appears that something is once again seriously wrong with Radio and the upstreaming of this site to my remote FTP server, which is why the page looks so different today than normal...still digging...
