With the finish line in sight…
As you may have noticed, things are bit bluer around the ol’ SB Ranch. Josh put in the photoshop time to craft up a new SBama-logo, all patrio-fied. Then someone over at Category4, figured out that maybe there are some WordPress users that might be fans of the man from Illinois. CSS is really great stuff for just this kind of thing, and WordPress isn’t half bad either.
With a few days remaining, my vote already in the ballot box and no shortage of homework to avoid, I’m in an OCD loop of dailykos, mydd, fivethirtyeight, talkingpointsmemo, wonkette, huff post, real clear politics and then usually a trip by news.google.com just to see what I’m not hearing about after walking the left-side of the information superhighway. This sort of activity happens at least a dozen times a day, both on the iPod (between games of Fieldrunners) and on my desktop machine. This reminds me of when I sit at the command prompt of a linux/unix/*nix box, my muscle memory kicks in and types “ls” for a listing of the files in the directory. I guess I’m just a visual kind of guy, as I’ll do this more out of habit than any need to know what’s in the directory.
The same sort of behavior happens when I sit down at the tubes these days I’m quickly opening half a dozen tabs and loading all these sites. Anyone else finding themselves in similar patterns? Any sites I’m not checking, that you live or die by?
