Disney was pretty cool. They started their HUGE Christmas light display at MGM for a sneak preview for annual pass holders. And they also let us bring one guest in for each ticket holder, so we got our relatives in to see it too. And they gave us all you could drink/eat hot chocolate and cookies. Disney sure knows how to treat its guests. As for the lights, they have set up some 5 million lights to totally decorate every square inch of everything in MGM's backlot. They have a bunch of houses back there for use as props in TV shows. But right now they let people walk through the street looking at the lights.

The election mess in Florida is still going on. Bush has unofficially won, since with a recount and with all the ballots in, he leads by 930 votes. However Gore is trying to make the state accept manual recounts in it's reporting. I personally trust an unbiased machine, then biased, mistake prone humans, and so I'm against this hand recount. The whole thing will be decided Mondy when a court rules if Florida has to accept the hand recounted votes or not. If not, then Bush wins. If they have to include those, then it could be another week before they get everything counted a new tally is figured out. Regardless of who wins, they won't be able to get hardly anything done in office anyway.

ICANN, the organization created to help regulate internet names, has issued 7 new domain name suffixs. You can find all 7 of them in this CN N article. However according to Wired, these domains names will have special restrictions like .biz requiring a real business, and it will cost more than a dotcom name. I personally liked dotdot :)
