What's my Daemon?

This really only makes sense if you've read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. If you haven't yet, drop everything you're doing, head straight to your local library, check out The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass, take three days off work and read them. I'm not kidding. No, really. Go. Right now.

For those of you who have read it, there is a movie coming out in December in case you haven't heard. I have strong hopes for the movie. Thus far it looks like they're doing it right. However, as part of the website you get to meet your Daemon. But friends can weigh in on whether or not you've got the right one. So those of you who know me, follow the link below and weigh in: is this really my Daemon?

Although I've often entertained the idea of showing up at some of the party events I get invites to just to blow their minds). Don't get me wrong, I like John Kerry just fine. I just think it's an indication of how badly people wanted to get rid of Bush even in 2004 that Kerry did as well as he did. Speaking as a fellow tall, funny-looking egghead, he just wasn't electable. So at this point it looks like it will be Obama vs. Clinton for the Democratic nomination (although lord knows ...

I hate daylight savings time. I really do. Maybe it's a silly thing to hate, but it has always seemed utterly pointless to me. And now the additional monkeying around we're doing with this already absurd device is making it even more pointless. IT departments all over the country are having to scramble to reprogram all the automatic clock settings on all the computers everywhere. At my own work, after the patches were applied we all had to go into our calendars and manually move all of the appointments from March 11th through April 8th one hour earlier, since the patch advanced all the times that were already in the system. This has got to be costing millions nationwide. And for what? Apparently the goal is to get a jump on the amount of time people are using lights and thereby save energy costs. Putting aside the fact that with a stroke of the pen congress could mandate 45 mpg minimums for vehicles and thereby save a heck of a lot more energy, how much are we really sav...
