I’m voting against the recall, sure. But I still can’t decide who to vote for if the recall does happen.

Arnold is a dismissive asshole who bullies people and doesn’t have any sort of plan for California. Watch the debate again if you don’t believe me.

Bustamante is too afraid to cut social services and programs to have any sizable impact on the budget.

I know almost nothing about McClintock, just that he’s super conservative, and that doesn’t thrill me a whole lot. The problem with voting for him is that he would share the republican vote with Arnold, and Bustamante would win as a result.

I’m registered as an Independent and I usually vote for democratic representatives and republican initiatives, so I really don’t care too much who wins this thing. But it’d be nice to be able to vote for someone and have confidence that they’ll run things the way I want them run.

What to do, what to do…

There’s always Gary Coleman!

Starting about a week ago, I’d say that approximately 75% of the spam that I’ve received is trying to sell me Vicodin. I’m not sure why this is. It just started out of the blue.

Maybe a Vicodin truck got hijacked somewhere?

It’s coming.

The Borg Megacube will reach Earth (heh, I’m a dork) on November 3rd. Inside it will be 48 DVDs containing every episode from all seven seasons of Star Trek: TNG.

It’s going to cost �449.99 ($747.41,) and for some reason they’re only going to make 1000 of them. They could sell a lot more than 1000, I’m sure.

“A federal court in Oklahoma has blocked the national “do not call” list that would allow consumers to stop most unwanted telephone sales calls, one week before it was due to take effect.”

UNBELIEVABLE!

Okay, I’ve decided that the folks over at SaveFarscape.com are officially weirdos. They’re now holding a fan fiction (‘fanfic’) contest. That, my friends, is when the effort to save the show officially jumped the shark in my book.

Hey, I want new episodes too, but saying that you write fan fiction is like telling everybody how much you enjoy taking baths in applesauce. Hey, that’s great, but now everybody’s going to know you’re a nutjob – and your only friends will be other applesauce bathers.

I would rather gouge myself in the eye with a hot poker than read fan fiction. There are plenty of examples of horrible fan fiction out there…so many in fact that I really think the association would hinder, rather than help, any sort of campaign to get any show back on the air.

Does anyone know of a decent Windows mail client? You’d think that by now there would be a good one, but there really isn’t.

I’ve been using Eudora for ages, and 6.0 just came out, but it still feels like I’m using software that hasn’t changed or been majorly upgraded in a decade.

The Bat! is pretty popular in some circles, but like Eudora, its interface is straight outta 1992.

By most accounts, Microsoft Outlook is a great email program if you don’t mind having viruses take control of it to send out copies of themselves while you’re out to lunch.

Mozilla Mail is decent, but I’d prefer to have a separate web browser and email client.

Thunderbird has some promise, but it’s in beta now and I don’t really want to have to update it every week.

So I guess I’ll stick with Eudora until something better comes along, but I’m not too hopeful at this point.

In my opinion, The Outer Limits is a highly underrated show. The original Outer Limits series was on TV way back in 1963 and only lasted two seasons (I think) and if you can manage to catch any of the reruns, they really seem hokey and poorly written.

But this modern-day Outer Limits is great. Each episode is one hour of original sci-fi short-storyism. It reminds me a lot of the old Twilight Zones. Check it out if you’re bored.

Hurricane Isabel should be hitting the east coast pretty soon.

You can follow the action online by listening in on radio transmissions from local police and fire agencies. The injuries are coming fast and furious over at Virginia Beach Fire, and it looks like the thing has barely touched down yet according to the latest satellite maps.
