RI Primary Info

Sunday, February 29th, 2004

To vote in the RI Democratic Presidential Preference Primary this Tuesday, you must be registered in Rhode Island as a Democrat or “unaffiliated” (the voter registration and the party disaffiliation deadlines have passed to be eligible for Tuesday’s vote). If you are unaffiliated you will be automatically registered as a Democrat when you vote, [...]

Why I Hate Internet Explorer, Part LXXVIII

Sunday, February 29th, 2004

I was playing around with the styling of this page, as I do every other day or so, and I was stumped as to a certain rendering problem. Since I use Opera for my internet browser, I thought maybe if I load up the page in Internet Explorer, which most of you guys use, then [...]

No Vote for Me

Sunday, February 29th, 2004

Last July I began eagerly anticipating March 2, 2004. That was the day I would get to cast my vote for Howard Dean for President. Eight months later, as the day finally approches, I never could have imagined the way this primary season panned out. And as it turns out, I won’t even get to [...]

Things

Sunday, February 29th, 2004

The OC has contracted whatever killed the LBC, probably a disease called “Marine Velvet.” Luckily, she survived the night, after I gave her some food soaked in fresh crushed garlic and a dip in pure fresh water (ah, osmosis). Today I have to get out to buy a hospital tank (just a small tank with [...]

Ditched Hatch to get Hitched

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

Man, the ProJo’s headline writers hit a homerun on that one, so I stole it for this post’s title.
Since I’m on the subject of local Survivor star Richard Hatch, and everyone and their moms are talking about same-sex marriage lately, let’s tie them together, shall we?
Over in New Paltz, NY (near Poughkeepsie) Mayor Jason West [...]

I’m Voting Survivor Off the Island

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

Rhode Island’s most famous obnoxious, often naked, gay Machiavellian mastermind, Rich Hatch, got the boot this week on Survivor All-Stars, thus ending my interest in this season. Rich said it best when, on the reading of the decisive vote, he proclaimed “I was bamboozled!”
Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all. Let’s just hope Colby, who [...]

Tragedy Strikes Another Fish Stuff Friday

Saturday, February 28th, 2004

Em said maybe I was a good luck charm in all things marine related, and boy was she wrong! You know how I introduced you guys to the new fish yesterday? Well, last night we lost the LBC.
I was talking to Em when I noticed the little brown clownfish was covered in spots (click here [...]

Fish Stuff Friday - Now in N.O.

Friday, February 27th, 2004

Well, we took a week off to mourn, but all the while down here in the Big Easy I was setting up a 5 gallon salt water tank. New sand, new live rocks, new hermit crabs… the works! And last weekend I finally got two clownfish, an orange one and a black one (which looks [...]

Voices Around New England - the Marriage Thing

Friday, February 27th, 2004

It seems like everyone is talking about gay marriage this week, since President Bush declared his support for amending the US Constitution. I think that’s great, because from my (liberally skewed, I’m sure) vantage point, not many people are being swayed from supporting equal rights for gay couples to opposing (but the opposite may be [...]

Just Too Good

Thursday, February 26th, 2004

Seriously. I get the feeling Bush would use that black marker to make a few more changes to that old piece of paper if he could.

The Dean Campaign, v2.0

Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

Joe Trippi, formerly Howard Dean’s Jedi Master Campaign Manager, took a couple days off after he left Dean for America, went home, and started a blog. This was the guy widely seen as the force behind the unprecedented use of the internet at DFA. Now, without a candidate but still itching for real change in [...]

Grey Day /// Tuesday Feb24th

Tuesday, February 24th, 2004

I haven’t been around in a while, but Bil figured this subject warrants posting.
Grey Day is a protest against big record companies(EMi) that are trying to stop independant artists like DangerMouse from creating their own projects with copyrighted music. Danger Mouse mixed Jay Z’s “Black Album” (not one of my favorite artists) with the [...]
