Bloomington Election Summary

Here is a summary of the races and some of my perspective based on things that I’ve seen and read.
These pages have some good information on candidate’s positions for statewide races:

I compiled this list which should reflect, pretty closely, the ballot. The list is based on info from http://www.co.monroe.in.us/clerk/Candidates.html :

Issues in Central Indiana Elections

I went to a local politics forum at the Indiana Union Wednesday night. Kevey, Bz, and Steven all happened to be there too, probably as a testament to Bz ferreting out what’s going on. It was a really disheartening experience. From living in Bloomington for a year, it seems like the political structures work pretty [...]

I’ve always wondered about this. You can link your project’s release names with CVS’ internal revision numbers for files.

Eminem’s Mosh

Guerrilla News Network: “Eminem’s Mosh”
So everybody’s talking about this. From threads on the democratic dailykos.com blog to my anarcho friends. I watched it but can’t say I had any immediate reaction. Maybe any kind of politicization of youth culture is a good thing. I don’t know.

I was allegedly supposed to have been informed of this by e-mail and postcard, but I never received either. [...]

I found yet another voyeuristic, productivity sucking website, http://www.reallysmalltalk.com/.
I started resuming work on the tests for the Boxcar online store. Unfortunately, I’ve reached an impasse with submitting the first checkout form. It looks like there is a problem with the following:

I fought with Photoshop and Illustrator trying to make the Defiance, Ohio patch design. This article, Drawing with Photoshop Halftones should be very useful for some of the things I want to do. Unfortunately, the image that I have to work with is 72dpi so I couldn’t really do a whole lot with [...]
