When I was making my rounds of reading the news online yesterday I ran into an interesting article that listed all of the turnout rates for each state for the 2004 election. Of course, I wanted to see who was the highest (Minnesota @ 77.3%), lowest (Hawaii @ 48.9%), and where Washington ended up (65.4%). So, this got me thinking when I was talking to Aaron about what I found online. My thinking lead to wondering how each of these states voted when ranked by percent turnout. So, here I present to you how each state voted electorally, ranked by percent turnout. Read more…
Well, it’s almost been a week. Guess I’ve been sidetracked with school and work. But, stuff has been going on, just nothing noteworthy to write about.
Capstone is going along smoothly, classes are just fine, work is… work, and I’m still looking for a job. So, it is pretty much the same stuff as usual for me. Except, last night we went out and celebrated Anthony’s Birthday at P.F. Chang’s in Downtown Seattle. I had not been there in quite a while, but the food was still pretty good. I’d show you pictures, but I don’t have any. Expect Jamie to post some though, she took a few from dinner.
Hmm, I just don’t know what else to write about. My brain is dead from such a long week. Plus, I’m at work and that doesn’t exactly spark any motivated writing. Guess more might come later… or will it?
Well, ever since flickr went online I was pretty intrigued on its use. So, I signed up for a free account. Well, this is where the addiction began.
Since my free account, I have purchased a pro account which allows me unlimited viewing bandwidth, 1GB upload per month, unlimited photosets, and unlimited pages viewable in my photostream. I’m pretty addicted to it because of the tagging aspect of it. Plus, the community part of it is pretty rad too. I kind of wish that the limit on free accounts wasn’t so low, as to facilitate more group photosets, but I still love the service.
I’ve updated the gallery link in the navigation to point towards my flickr photo page since I’ve been putting just about everything from the past year or so on it. Now, one of my reasons to move from my site to flickr was that I could upload a lot of pics and not have to worry about the space. Well, that is cool and all, but then my host has to all go out and triple my disk space and bandwidth for free. Thus, kind of making it a moot point. Right? Well, I don’t know. I’ve uploaded about 700MB of images so far. So, I’m still sticking with flickr for the time being. That and I paid for it!
So, if you’re curious just sign up for a free account and check it out. I like it alot and I’m uploading images right as we speak. Yeah, it is pretty addicting. It makes me want to take more photos. If you have questions for me about what I like and dislike about it, leave a comment and I’ll let you know.
CSS: Mark-up guides – A good little guide on taking the design from requirements, to a layout, to color, to the markup. Maybe this will be useful in capstone?

Just a little over two weeks ago many of us celebrated the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day. Over time, this has involved exchanging gifts between family, friends, those you love. This was no different for myself. But, the one thing that I do not like is exchanging gifts. I am terrible at thinking what to get people. But, what follows is how I came up with the gift for one Jamie Yaptinchay. Read more…
Credit Card Prank – Just sign on the line whatever you want. Who checks anyways? Ok, this just makes you wonder if they check your signature or not. Guess that is why some people put “See ID” on the back of their credit cards.
