Its always interesting when someone crosses party lines to side with the enemy. Independent Senator, Joe Liebermanhas come out endorsing John McCain as the only one who can “break through the partisanship that is poisoning our politics today and stopping us from getting anything done in Washington.” An interesting twist for one who has seemingly broken almost all the rules of modern politics.
Lieberman has drawn some fire from the Democratic Leadership, however there’s little they can do if they’d like to keep his votes on their side of the aisle (especially since very few votes separate the two parties in the Senate). I do have to admit, I’m a little surprised myself, that the liberal from New England is supporting the Conservative from Arizona. It could almost be a story line in an episode of the “Odd Couple” but I wouldn’t expect to see the two of them out shopping for platform beds any time soon (wouldn’t that be a pretty headline??).
Elsewhere in the GOP, Huckabee is drawing more fire as he continues to rise in the polls, which brings to mind the question of whether or not bad press is better than no press at all and Ron Paul reportedly raises 6 million in contributions over the weekend in an online ron paul lovefest. I seriously hope that Paul realizes what effect he could have on the race if he runs as a third party and decides not to. It would make sense for the GOP nomoniee to have him on the short list of running mates, though Eric seems to think that would be suicide for the ticket.

Its sad when really good TV never gets a chance to realize its full potential. I was watching tv late last night as I waited for one of the puppies to return home from a walkabout and as I surfed the comcast channel guide, I came across the SciFi network which was running episodes of the cult hit FireFly from 11pm until 3am. I didn’t stay up until 3 (knowing full well that the girls would be up around 7:30) but I did catch the two pilot episodes which reminded me why I loved this show in the first place.
If you’ve never heard of FireFly or Serenity, you’re probably scratching your head. FireFly is set in the future, where the world has a largely Asian (chinese) influence (which isn’t hard to imagine when looking at population numbers) and has a really nice western feel to it. The cast on FireFly worked well together and the show just had a really good fit that made it a somewhat believable SciFi show.
Created by Joss Whedon (of Buffy and Angel fame) the show only lasted one season on Fox, but it managed to find a HUGE cult following and even spawned a movie based on the name of the ship, Serenity. The movie was just as good as the show. If you haven’t caught and episode yet, I highly suggest you keep an eye on the SciFi lineup to find out when it comes on.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…
Main Title Theme Written by: Joss Whedon More info HERE

Windows users have been haunted for ever with the specter of defragging a disk in order to free up valuable space and make the drive run better. Window’s defrag does the job well (after all, its a creature of their own invention) but sometimes you want more information on the fragmentation than you get with window’s defrag. Enter Lacelevel2 from DiskLace software.
LaceLevel2 is a fragmentation analyzer. It won’t defrag your disk for you but in less than 60 seconds you can get the status of your drive. The cool thing is that for partitions under 80gb in size, the software is free (as in beer). I downloaded it today to give it a spin and I was pleasantly surprised.
I’m usually a little wary of software downloads online, especially free ones, but I downloaded it anyways and installed it. The only “extra” offered was the google desktop, I unchecked the box and finished the install. I did run adaware (by lavasoft) after the install but it only found the usual tracking cookies from the sites I visit so I was happy with that. I ran the program and it was at a lacelevel 3.5 (whatever that means). It ran quickly as promised on the < 20gb partition I ran it on which was nice. The only thing I would like is a better description of the level of fragmentation on the drive.
They do offer an “analysis” of the finding, but that wasn’t much better than the one the program gave right off the bat. Still, its a handy little tool and at a price of free, the price is pretty good.
One poll at a time apparently. On the side of the Democrats it seems that Hillary Clinton’s lead in New Hampshire is Slowly Slipping Away. This is good news for Obama and other Democrat wanna-bes. It was once thought that Hillary was unstoppable but thats beginning to show not to be the case as the primary season nears (less that a month away now!). NH isn’t the only place Clinton seems to be loosing her grip as her numbers slip elsewhere as well.
On the right side of the aisle, Hopeful Mike Huckabee has surged ahead in key states while Romney and Guliani are battling it out for Third place right now. This is extremely good news for Mike as his campaign picks up steam and forges ahead against all the negative press beginning to make its way out about the Arkansas Gov. I like mike and I was pleased to see that he’s adding some big guns to his campaign team.
I think Huckabee is going to be the country’s best chance of getting away from the Income Tax and moving towards the revolutionary idea of the Fair Tax.

Gruntled had these posted at GG and I thought it’d fun to answer…
If you had to add a thirteenth month to the year what would you name it?
That depends on when it fell… If it was in the summer… something like… wait. What was the question? Scoopleeloo!
In your opinion, what should the Eighth Deadly Sin be?
Ignorance
If you were magically transformed into Snow White’s Eighth Dwarf, what would your name be?
Lanky Dwarf
If you could add an Eleventh Commandment to the Christian bible, what would it be?
Thou shalt not pay an income tax.
If you were to become the sixth Spice Girl, you would call yourself _______ Spice.
Paprika. Or Thyme. Or Basil. I’ve always thought that Basil as a name was cool. Like Basil in the Great Mouse detective….
Everyone knows that one family member who’s hard to shop for. Maybe its your great aunt Marge (you know, the one who always squeezes your cheeks together when she sees you) on your mother’s side or your uncle Al and Aunt Judy who live in Kalamazoo. Either way, its always a chore to figure out what to get them. For us, it used to be my grandmother. After all, there’s only so many purses a woman in her 70’s needs right? It got to the point where my mother would just order her a nice bouquet of flowers for Christmas and be done.
It was almost the perfect gift (Grandpa was a gardener and could always use vases around the house) and with the flowers delivered directly to them before Christmas, we were almost always guaranteed that they would have their gift in time. We’d send something like the Holiday Tradition bouquet. The colors, the vase all screamed Christmas and would go good in anyones home. I can’t wait until I’m at a point where all I have to do is send my parent’s Flowers for Christmas.

Thirteen Wordpress Plugins worth Using In no particular order…
Akismet - Akismet comes default with wordpress installs these days. Its one of two plugins that do. Akismet is perhaps the single best tool against fighting blogspam that we have available today. Why my install of akismet has already blocked over 6,000 spam posts and blocks at least 100 a day. If you’re not using it, you really, really should be.
Commentluv 0.993 - CommentLuv is perhaps one of the coolest plugins I’ve installed to date. What it does is scrape the url you submit when you make a comment and it gleans the last post from your feed and adds it to your comment as a “Last post from” type addition. So you get some really good back links over time if you keep commenting on my site. I’ve received a lot of positive feedback over this one…
Comment Timeout 2.0.1 - This is another great comment plugin, this one though helps with spam like Akismet. Comment Timeout does what it says. You can set an amount of time (I think I have mine set to 30 or 60 days) that comments are open on a post before they are closed. Certain triggers like a large number of comments will cause the comments to be kept open on a single post, but for the most part this helps prevent spammers from going through your old posts and adding comments. Its helped cut down on the spam a lot as well.
Douche Bag - I haven’t used this one a lot but its fun to have. The guys at YoungGoGetter came up with a way to label comments you don’t like.. You simply add a tag to the comment and the image of your choice is shown (currently its a brown bag with the word douche on it).
WeatherIcon - This one isn’t so much a do something plugin, but I’ve had it on my blog for virtually ever. Its nice to know the weather here in teh ATL and I can, all I have to do is hit my blog. Besides, its pretty cool. Isn’t it??
WP-Polls A good way to encourage participation on your blog is to give people something to participate in. From time to time, I like to run a little poll to see what the general masses are thinking (I am in no way associated with any official polling company). Thats where this gem from Lester Chan comes in to play. You can specify the items in the poll and display them in a sidebar or a post. Its pretty nifty.
WP Grins - Clickable emoticons for comments. What more could you ask for??
WPG2 - I use gallery (menalto) for my image management and I needed a good way to integrate it in to the wordpress site. The team working on WPG2 has done an amazing job at making things work the way they need to. Could ask for a better gallery plugin.
wp-recent-links Some people use their wordpress install for little more than listing links every day of places they like and visit. I like to use my blog for blogging, but the wp-recent-links plugin works wonders for when I find that little nugget of gold on the web that I want to share with people I know (I was going to say like… but then I remembered Gruntled. I simply add my link and a description and bam. Its posted for the world to see. Plus there’s a cool link archive page.
Show Top Commentators - I’m not sure what a commentator is (I believe its a normal tator…) but I do know I like to show the top commenters on the site and this plugin does that. Its great for keeping track of monthly contests.
Wordbook - Recently, I created a facebook account (facebook is so much cooler than myspace) and this plugin allows me to post my blog posts on facebook with out any extra work on my part. Now thats nice.
Quoter -Allows commenters to quote other comments (dynamically or server side if they have Javascript disabled) and any other text in a page (Javascript only). Is nice when I want to specify what the heck I’m replying too.
In Series - I’ve used this only once since I added it (my posts about Disney) but its nice and for sites that are posting series of how-to’s its a god send. You can specify which posts are in the “series” and it adds a table of contents to the post making it easy for your readers to read all the articles in the series.

If you’re like me, you’re a bit hesitant to upgrade to the latest release of Wordpress. DoG was running a very good install of the last 2.2.x release and I wasn’t in a rush to upgrade it for several reasons. The largest reason and one you can still see some of the effects of on the site, is that the theme I’m using, Redoable by DJR hasn’t been updated for the 2.3 branch and most likely won’t be any time soon.
If you’re not currently running a theme compatible with the 2.3.x branch of wordpress, I would recommend changing your theme to one that is or wait to upgrade until you’re comfortable with doing the work yourself. I’m in the process of a redesign and I wanted to use some of the native features in the new releases of WP so I went ahead and made the jump. It wasn’t all cake though, there are some hoops to jump through before you dive right in.
Download the latest version to your server (if you have ssh, log in and do a wget) via wget or ftp if you can.
Log in to your admin area and disable ALL plugins (yes Virginia, even Akismet. No, don’t worry, you’ll have akismet back up with in 15 minutes). They make it nice and easy in wordpress to disable everything at once (there’s a link at the bottom of the plugin management page that disables everything with one click).
Set your default theme to the Default wordpress theme. This is recommended practice for several reasons one, the default theme is standard in wordpress releases and WILL work on your site immediately after the upgrade where as your current theme may or may not.
Unzip and copy (again really easy in ssh) the new release to your blog directory. Make sure to copy the contents in wordpress to your blog’s directory and not just the wordpress folder.
Run http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php - This is a crucial step as the database changed from the 2.2.x versions to the 2.3 branch. You need to update the database or nothing on the site will work correctly.
Check your site. Once the upgrade has completed you can check your site. Your posts and everything should display properly using the default theme.
Login to your admin area and UPGRADE ANY plugins that say there is a new release. **THIS IS IMPORTANT** as the database changes rendered the way some plugins accessed the information. If you don’t upgrade the plugins you might get errors (like the UTC category error on this site). Its easy and will take hardly any time at all. One of the features I LIKE about 2.3 is that it lets me know when I need to upgrade the plugins.
Activate all your plugins - Or at least the ones you still want to use. I went through and cleared out some of the ones not in use here on the site and it helped a bit.
Select new theme - You *should* now be able to reset your theme to the one you want. There may be some errors, if that is the case check the wordpress.org site for answers, chances are that someone has already had the same issue.
In all, it should take less than an hour to do the upgrade. If you’re unsure, there are plenty of people who will do it for you (often for a slight fee). I’ve found the best way is to be prepared. Download the new version before you start anything and make sure you read the upgrade notes. If you’re using a custom theme, make sure it will work. I’ve found that most themes will with some minor changes to the way they call some of the WP hooks.
So in addition to upgrading the code to the site yesterday, I added a plugin. Absolute Comment allows me to reply to your comments from the admin menu, making my job just one step easier. How cool is that??
Yar, thats right, I said “FREE iPOD Nano!” All you have to do is sign up for the Trusted Travel eNewsletter from Trusted Travel and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win an iPod nano in time for Christmas. Pretty cool right? Yea, it is (like how I answered for you there?) but it isn’t as cool as some of the tours offered by Trusted Travel in cities across the country. Boston, New York, San Fran, my home town, Atlanta, it doesn’t matter, they’re the leader in Travel Tours.
We’ve done a couple (through old town Savannah) and the tour was pretty cool. They have a couple that touch the heart of the South here in Atlanta that would be really cool (I’m not sure about the Segway tours though, segway’s are evil!). The tour of atlanta and the visit to the World of Coke (brand new and supposedly really cool), CNN and the GAQ (Georgia Aquarium) would be cool to do, though thats a lot to do in one day (we’ve spent one single day at the GAQ before…).
Another that’s good for those with some money to burn is the trip to the NGAPO or the North Georgia Premium Outlets. When we hit the outlets, this one is our favorite. Eddie Bauer, Pottery Barn, William Sonoma and more (nike and north face) in a nice north Georgia setting. Amy spent thanksgiving night there one year (the outlets opened at midnight ). Its a nice tour as they pick you up from your hotel in the city and do all the driving, all you have to do is shop!
I’d have to say though, the one to go for would be the Atlanta City Pass. $64 gets you access to Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, Inside CNN Atlanta, Zoo Atlanta, Atlanta History Center & more (cost of admission for three of those alone would get you to that rate). Its a pretty cool deal here in Hotlanta.
If you come to Atlanta let me know, maybe we can tour together (or I’ll let you take my kids to the zoo for me).

Ok, that was cheese, but these two definately aren’t. The light and airy sound of Soulfire is reminiscent of Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and others who play lightly on the strings.
From their page: “Soulfire was formed around a fire in the mountains of South Africa’s Cedarberg region. Both Dave and Duncan have had successful solo careers but through this union of styles and voices are able to create something unique. Blending influences from past and present performers with styles ranging from classic folk, blues, rock and reggae, Soulfire have created their own laidback blend of acoustic rock that has met with critical acclaim in their native South Africa and elsewhere.”
Why Amie St. Wednesday? Music is in everyones lives. It surrounds us even when we don.t it. This is a way to discover new artist, and share the artist that you enjoy listening to on AmieStreet.com. If you enjoy the music please support the artist. Amie St. Music Wednesday has no affiliation with AmieStreet.com and the opinion about the music and/or artist is the that of the postie.
Well, I’ve gone and done it and you might notice the site loading slower because of it. I’m in the process of redesigning the site. As part of that, I went ahead and upgraded the wordpress install powering it. While it seems to have gone smoothly for the most part, there are some issues. Such as now xcache isn’t working correctly which is resulting in slower load times.
If anyone has any idea how to clear the xcache and start from scratch, please, please, please let me know. I can’t for the life of me figure it out! Oh and stay tuned for the new theme….
Thats right. One way to build up good traffic to your site is to have a review written of your site by a bigger fish. Well, Winning The Web is offering the opportunity to win one of two reviews. The first is an ongoing contest to collect letters and be the first to spell out the phrase. You have the chance to win a review on JohnChow.com (a $400 prize) the second is easier to enter, just comment on winning the web and subscribe to their rss feed. You can win a review on JohnCow.com ($200 prize). Couldn’t be easier could it?

Its amazing what can happen when you leapfrog in the polls from the bottom of the pack to the top. Just ask Mike. Mike has recently taken off like a little kid in a toy store in several of the early primary states (Iowa, South Carolina…) and he’s been coming under more and more fire la
