Is anyone else alarmed by how batshit crazy Michael Steele is sounding these days?
“…I just don’t understand this idea that somehow people think that the federal government can enter into a marketplace and compete with private industry.”

Hmm. I picked up a first-generation Xbox for $20 at a yard sale a few months ago, and i’ve played it sporadically since then (I now have a family, so it’s low on the list of priorities).

After a couple of middling albums, The Crystal Method released a new one called Divided By Night which has been slowly growing on me this week. They’ve dialed back the big-beat they were known for earlier to produce an album full of collaborations with other artists, including Emily Haines of Metric (another favorite new album), but the one I’ve been rotating is the final track with an artist named Meiko, called Falling Hard. It’s nice to have them back.

“Until conservatives once again hold Republicans to the same standard they hold Democrats, they will have no credibility and deserve no respect. They can start building some by admitting to themselves that Bush caused many of the problems they are protesting.”
From hivelogic, a simple (and functional) Python script to back up your Flickr photos. If you don’t feel comfortable with the Terminal, it may not be for you, but it worked flawlessly for me.
