One of my friends linked me to a cool technology document that Obama put out to explain his views on various technology related issues. It's basically a dream list of everything that people have been clamoring for, particularly in net neutrality and getting the government and the country to become more wired. Obviously it's not perfect, and with all the different arguments there will never be a perfect document, but it's vastly superior to anything that the other candidates have put out. It really shows he gets what the Internet has done and can do for people.
Florida won't seem so far away anymore after ordering ESPN's Full Court package to get all the Gator basketball games this season. It includes a bunch of other basketball games as well, but I got it strictly for the Gator games. And from what I saw tonight when UF played North Florida, it's going to be a very good year. I figured they'd be surprisingly good this year, and even though UNF isn't all that great of a team, they demolished them by 50 points and made very few Freshman mistakes. Marreese Speights is incredible (which I saw snippets of last year when he'd play) and Nick Calathes has sooooo much potential. I predict they make a good run in the tourny this year, and next year they'll be right in the battle for the Championship, no doubt about it. Watching it on TV is nothing like actually being in the Rowdy Reptile student section, but it's the next best thing when you live a thousand miles away.
Tonight I saw a documentary about punk rock music called Punk's Not Dead. It was an interesting movie, but spent way too long on trying to discuss what makes punk music punk and who is really keepin it real yo. Which to me, the most punk thing to do would be simply to listen to whatever music you enjoy. But then what do I know?
Today was also probably the last day I'll get to swim in Barton Springs for a while, as a cold front moves through tomorrow and the extended forecast doesn't have us getting much warmer. It is open year round though, so if I ever miss the 69 degree water I can just jump in and get the blood rushing a bit.
