One idea I’ve come up with for my portfolio (part of my application to grad school) is to make an interactive digital picture frame/portfolio. I’ve found a few articles (like this one or this one) on hacking up an old laptop to act as a just a picture frame, but they don’t address a few important issues that apply to my project. Namely, boot times are still quite long, and the articles don’t talk about the software used.
In light of those two issues, I’ve been reading a little bit about Linux and kiosks. Seems like it might not be an impossible undertaking…

I got some good woodworking done this weekend (hopefully not the last with such good weather) and made progress on the piano bench. It’s slow going, but the end is definitely in sight…
I was in Indianapolis for a couple days at the end of last week – if you can avoid Indianapolis, do. I head off to Seattle in a couple days for a week, and that should be a much nicer trip.

Today’s dose of moderation comes from an unlikely source – William Safire of the NY Times. Check out his remarkably grounded editorial from this morning, in which he calls on the administration to keep their far-right wing plans in check. Surprising, but smart. What’re the chances Bush’ll follow this advice?

Really? Him again? It’s really depressing.
What makes me the most unhappy isn’t that he won – I’m almost ready to accept that 51% of the country voted for Bush. The thing that gets me is that he and his administration somehow view the election as a mandate that they’re 100% right. Nearly half the country thinks you’re not doing a good job, George – don’t you think some change is warranted?! Probably not… Too bad there’s no proportional representation in the presidency.

Don’t forget to vote!
It seems that Tova’s gone international! Anyone know Korean?
