Talk radio after 3PM
I used to listen to talk radio after 3PM. I listened at the Sean Hannity show, on WDBO 580AM. I just realized yesterday his ‘show’ is a radio political –and biased– version of “The Jerry Springer” show. Full of junk, inaccuracies, lies sprinkled with some trues, repetitive. I should have stopped at junk.

And I listened for the entertainment, for the laugh it gives every once in a while, and as a background noise on my way home. But still, garbage. I will not more listen to i … ⌘ Read more

I just hope…
I just hope she doesn’t win. I am talking about politics, if you are following the news, you know who I am talking about. Hard not to follow politics these days, but you never know.

Yes, I hope she looses.

Update 06 March 2008

She didn’t loose. She won three states. Obama still leads on delegates. There is still hope. ⌘ Read more

The truth is useless
On Digg, someone submitted, Jeb Bush, the truth is useless, to which a reader commented:

Digg - Jeb Bush: ‘The truth is useless’

[…] This is not just the Bushes, though. This is human nature. This sort of thing develops when you elevate yourself to stratospheric heights and start to believe your own hype. It happens to Ho … ⌘ Read more

Primary elections
It is my desire that the U.S. primary elections were available to everyone, to vote for anyone, regardless of the political part affiliation 1. In fact, I would not make a requirement to affiliate to a specific party at all.

Why? If I am registered, for example, democrat, but I see that the choices of the Democratic Party are not “presidential” material, then I would like to be able to vote (even at the primaries) for the best of the other party. Am I making any sense?

Heavy Microsoft ads on Freshmeat
Freshmeat is, in their own words, “the first stop for Linux users hunting for the software they need for work or play.” and it also “offers a variety of original content on technical, political, and social aspects of software and programming, written by both Freshmeat readers and Free Software luminaries.”

I have been very surprised to see, more and more, Microsoft ads on Freshmeat. All over the place. Quite often. Fre … ⌘ Read more

Winds of change
It seems winds of change had blown, brought by the mid-term elections. And yes, change was (is) what we needed. I am cautiously happy. After all, it is politics what we are talking about here. ⌘ Read more

Nazi crimes archives set to open
BBC News: Nazi crimes archives to set open.

The 47 million files hold Nazi records of forced labourers, concentration camp victims and political prisoners. They have been used to help people trace their relatives, but were kept closed to protect victims’ privacy. Many people felt the files should be opened to historical researchers to ensure the details of the Holocaust ( [Nazis genocide](http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/genocide/holocaust_overview_01.s … ⌘ Read more

A moment in time
Not much is happening lately. At least, not much worth of mentioning. Christmas is coming (yes, Christmas, I do not need to be “politically” correct by calling it “holidays”) and I tend to get a little bit sad just around this time. I know it might sound weird, but I can’t help it.

Time is flying by lately and I do not know whether that’s good or bad. It should be bad all the time, since time is one of the few things that never returns, it can’t be rewinded. But while at work, it … ⌘ Read more

Money for your hobby?
I have seeing an increasing amount of weblogs that are, either running Google AdSense to make money or asking for donations. Does that works? I mean, does Google AdSense can be enough for someone to actually make a living out if it? And, on a related token, would the amount of “donations” add up enough to pay the rent? I am curious.

On politics. I am a republican although I am not sure if I will vote like so on the next Presidenti … ⌘ Read more

Redesign on the horizon
Pretty soon I will be redesigning. I am not sure what I will do yet, but the main site will change. Additionally, I will be adding an extra blog using MT (Movable Type).

On the main site I am not sure whether to go simplistic or zeldmanian, but changes are due, since I am also changing the way I have been writing lately. The domain Collantes.US will become the echo of my thoughts on technology, science, religion, politics and everything else in between. Stay tuned, if you want. Or … ⌘ Read more
