Even though I don't feel like I need another reason to despise our president I am planning on attending this movie. It looks fantastic. Sort of what I had hoped that Fahrenheit 9/11 could have been if it weren't so infantile. If you aren't in the area, check out the film's website for more information on other screenings, or how to buy a copy. If nothing else, watch this clip. Warning: might

Ok, so I've been a total news junky since the election. I can't stop reading the news. I've read all kinds of allegations of voter fraud, electronic voting machines that were tampered with, exit polls disecrepencies, "moral values" and Bush's supposed mandate. What is so great about this country? What are proud of? That we have the best bombs? I keep reading the news, hoping that the shit

What happens to people who follow a religion but are devoid of spirituality? Fear, hatred, threats, righteousness, bigotry.. are these Christian values? Where will this kind of thinking lead us? Is Bush really one of them?

I try hard not to be political. In general I don't feel a strong affiliation with any party or ideology. I think hard about issues, and I try hard to see different points of view. I'm sure that if I sat down and talked about issues with someone they would find all kinds of interesting labels. I have a deep inner sense of how people should be treated and how to make our country a better place to

The Sonos ZonePlayer was pictured on the cover of the Boston Globe today, with a nice article on the front page of the business section. Its starting to feel real!

On Sunday I went for a long hike with my friend Matt. We woke up at an hour that was on the verge of being unreasonable - around 7:30 a.m., and then drove straight up I-93. The hike we picked was apparently quite popular. It was about a 9 mile loop up Mt. Lafayette, along a ridge including Mt. Lincoln and Little Haystack. The whole thing took us around 7 hours.

But what a perfect day. We could see for over 100 miles in every direction. Lafayette is around 1 mile high. The world looks big from up there. It also struck me how much distance we could cover.

We walked along that ridge there for a couple of miles and from the low end (the Haystack end) Laffayette seemed impossibly far away. Fall is just beginning around here - the leaves had kind of a golden yellow glow.

Along the way we met a guy named Sam, who sent me these pictures. Thanks Sam! Sam is from Spain. His real name is not Sam.
