YouTube – White and Nerdy- Weird Al This video/song is fantastic… it hits pretty close to home for me and several of my friends, though. Personally it’s hitting at least 40% acurate for me: I’m fluent in Javascript, do webpages for friends, got a friend who went to MIT, have stationary rims, i’ve got a soldering gun, i edit wikipedia, i can quote the whole “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, and I wanna bowl with the gansta’s.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to former Texas Governor George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House.

CNN.com – GOP split as Senate panel bucks Bush on terror tribunals – Sep 15, 2006: The bill was backed by Republican Sens. John Warner of Virginia, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Sen Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

IHTFP Hack Gallery:Fire Truck on the Great Dome: A buddy of mine who went to MIT sent me this… He said the students have to dodge building security to get to the top of the dome… and the got the fire truck up there by disassembling it, carrying up the parts, and reassembling it on top. Amazing! A lot more effort than most people I know would put into something…
