Stupid.
Since leaving my pretty good day at work I have witnessed two pretty stupid things:
1) I attempted to go vote tonight, but some genius tried to put a decently populated part of Lafayette into a MOTHER FUCKING FIRE STATION. I didn’t feel like waiting, so yes, I didn’t vote. It’s 2010, why are we still going some place to vote?
2) A traffic light was blinking yellow and red. So...

Doctor Visit
I seem to have gotten food poisoning sometime this weekend. That’s not really the point of this post though. I ended up seeing a doctor today. I realized while I was sitting in the waiting room that I had not seen a doctor in about 10 years.

Too Many Versions!
“Windows 7 Starter (worldwide via OEM only): up to three concurrent applications, ability to join a Home Group, improved taskbar and JumpLists”
One of the great new versions of Windows 7. I think this is the first OS I have seen that has an actual limit on the number of concurrent apps.
