Spin vs. Reality
Here’s another reason I think Kerry is a better choice than Bush. The Bush re-election effort really comes across more as a product ad than a political one. For Bush, it’s *all* spin. A few examples: Bush is always seen with adoring, cheering crowds. But those crowds are very selective: you have to sign an ...

Lunar Eclipse Video
Tonight was a total lunar eclipse, which won’t happen again until 2007. Uncharacteristically, the Seattle sky was completely clear, so I was able to point my video camera out the window and tape the eclipse. I used iStopMotion to take a snapshot every 15 seconds. As you’ll be able to see, I had to move ...

The only thing I can come up with is the invasion of Afganistan and the overthrow of the Taliban for harboring and supporting Bin Laden and ...

Vote for Kerry, Save the USA
I’ve been trying to come up with just a few things that illustrate why the U.S.A. should no longer support Bush. Even if you don’t like Kerry, I believe it’s clear that Bush has been bad for the country and can only make things worse if re-elected. Today’s New York Times reports that the Bush ...

Mount St. Helens Eruption Movies
We Seattleites have been keeping an eye on our sister Mount St. Helens as she lets off some steam. I’m not worried about a massive eruption, but it’s still pretty cool to see nature at work on a large scale. Now, you can see the volcano cam images as movies! (The enormous fly that appears ...

Bush Campaign Concerned about Sliding Popularity?
Since the presidential debates began and many outlets and polls judged Kerry the winner (or at least a strong tie), it’s been hard to find any good news for the Bush administration. I’m astounded at how often they’ve been caught blatantly lying or taking quotes wildly out of context. So I guess it’s no surprise ...

My iMac G5 Review in Seattle Times
My colleague Glenn Fleishman and his wife recently had a baby, so I’ve been writing his Practical Mac column for the Seattle Times. The latest is a hands-on review of the iMac G5: "User-friendly iMac G5 keeps it simple". Here are links to the previous three I’ve written: "DVD led to digital shake-up" (Seattle Times, ...
