1/31/2006: About half an hour after the State of the Union adress (my favorite quote from which is above) Apple called me up. My computer, which they had fixed for free, was ready to pick up at the Apple Store on University in Palo Alto. An hour or so later I was forced to conclude the only problem now is that it doesn't run GIMP anymore. For some reason X11 isn't compatible with the new motherboard.

1/26/2005: Yesterday I found out that my iMac G5 that I've enjoyed using to make this website would cost at least $925 to repair. There was something wrong with the logic board. Since a Linux box to do the same thing could be aquired for a third that much, I've decided to walk away from the Macintosh. As I type this, my desk has on it what looks like an E Net box that is running Debian Linux.

   

For me, the big event of the Green Party of California December '05 Statewide meeting was handing out copies of the flier you can see by clicking above to everybody that was even remotely interested in taking one. It was my way of throwing my hat in the ring as a contestant for the Senate nomination. The response was good. Now all I have to do is follow through and get my name on the ballot. Then it really gets interesting. As I type this, there are two other names in play for this office, and I don't know much about those campaigns...
