I picked up one of the new unibody aluminum MacBooks a week ago, and I’m enjoying every bit of it!

*This should really be called Grammar 1, since kids in elementary school learn this stuff. But I’ll call it Grammar 101, so I don’t hurt your feelings.
Introduction
Here’s a lesson in basic grammar for all of you Internet zombies who type away on Facebook, MySpace, digg, etc. hoping your web browser’s spell check will catch your mistakes (I’m giving you the benefit of doubt here by assuming you want proper spelling & grammar.). Your browser can’t help if you’re making an intent error.
What’s an intent error? The simplest way of putting it is, you. You made the mistake. The computer can’t fix intent errors.
Read on for some basic education for those of you who suffer from chronic grammar intent errors.

I was bored yesterday, and decided to pass the time by browsing some web server logs. After finding nothing of interest on guardian’s logs (apart from all the 404 errors from previously hosted people who don’t know how to update links), I moved on to my (mt) logs. Now, I’ve written about my (mt) account before, but this time I have something important to note. And that is that:
Wallsaver has been downloaded over 260,000 times.
Wow. I haven’t even had 260,000 hits to visits of my sites. Combined. Had I decided to charge money for Wallsaver (which seems like it would have been a good idea; I was thinking $1.99), I’d have $520,000! (Okay, I know I wouldn’t have that much. 1 download isn’t the same as 1 user. Some where around 50% of the downloads are people updating to the newest version. Even the estimated $50,000 is still a LOT of money.)
Who knows, I just might release Wallsaver 3.0 as shareware @ $1.99. I can think of quite a few uses of $50,000.

With polls on the east coast a little more than 4 hours away from opening, it’s time to turn our attention to the election.
Regardless of which side you’re on, it’s hard not to get swept up in all the excitement surrounding such an historic event. Since a presidential election only happens every four years, the anticipation is comparable to that generated by the Olympics, if not more so. Making it even more important that those of you who are of voting age go out and vote.
Why live in a democratic country (even if it is a representative democracy) and not exercise your right to vote? Go vote. Seriously.
Some helpful resources if you’re unsure on who to vote for:
- Vote By Issue: Learn about the candidates through their platforms, not their personalities.
- Project Vote Smart: An objective presentation of the facts. No agendas.
- Candidate Calculator: Find the presidential candidate that agrees with you.

Just a reminder for y’all, today is free burrito day at your local Chipotle restaurant. Simply wear an article of aluminum foil (wrap some around your wrist if you don’t want to go all out) and get a free burrito.
Just remember to get there before/after the rush to avoid waiting in line all day. Happy eatings!
