Oh, i’m stupid, i thought the debate was today not Thursday… oh well
Maybe they know this debate is going to be embarrassing so they are making it not nearly as available online streaming

I now know where Palin was getting her answers, she had an iphone and was looking the answers up on http://interviewpalin.com/
YES! @blaine’s going to join me on the trip down to South Africa (up for me) for #mobileactive08 and then a train trip to Cape Town
A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for 4 years of great SNL sketches by Tina Fey!
Foggy day today in Montevideo, i can’t see the river from my office, even a few buildings are disappearing from view
Eating a plate of stirfried leftovers for lunch, take what you have as leftovers, throw it in a wok, add spices, and stir….
Romney’s company, Bain Capital buys Lehman’s assets, i guess the republicans could have been in an even worse position re the economy
Interesting, both candidates like to gamble , McCain’s game of choice is Craps, and Obama’s is Poker… The difference is very telling.
Camilo (@durruti) just discovered a new game, pull dady’s laptop power cable out…
Spent most of the day with camilo in the park, there was a rally / concert / event to decriminalize abortion in Uruguay.

Oh, woken up by fireworks which were now an hour and a half ago… must go to sleep

Started writing a blog post responding to Fielding’s Economies of Scale… http://tinyurl.com/economies-of-scale but got sidetracked…
Finally found a coffee grinder, it’s a crappy one, but at least now i can drink that blue bottle coffee i brought back from SF.
Good with databases & code? Obama’s is looking for geeks to volunteer full time through the election http://my.barackobama.com/DataFellows

McCain just said he’s eliminate ethanol subsidies, a good idea, but i wonder how that will play in the midwest…
It’s really hard to tell who’s winning this debate… i guess obama is, as all he has to do is look & act presidential….
Much as i have problems with Israel, i think Obama made a big mistake by not coming out in it’s defense during the debate.
Obama’s saying he’ll talk to any leader without preconditions has been his strongest part of the debate yet.
According to www.mediacurves.com independents seem to have favored Obama about %60 to %40 on the issues of the debate.
It’s really fun to watch election.twitter.com and watch along.
cnn.com’s giving me a connection error, msnbc seems to be working, mostly.
Signed up for www.democratsabroad.org and went to look up Uruguay, empty page, i guess i’m alone down here en el paisito (the country-let)
6 Million US Citizens live abroad, but obama’s website doesn’t let you search by geography outside the US. Hey @lhl whats up with that?!
Eating pizza @gaba brought home and wondering if there’s a way to watch the debate online… it’s not broadcast in Uruguay…. :)
Watching election.twitter.com i notice that Palin / McCain supporters haven’t figured out how to set their icon. It’s wonderfully ironic.
Wish i’d organized a debate watching party in montevideo. Gringos getting together to watch how fucked their old country is. maybe next time

Really enjoying http://election.twitter.com/ it’ll be interesting to watch that during the debates tonight.
”[$700B] is not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com “We just wanted to choose a really large number”

Drinking ‘serene’ mate for ‘nerviosos’ thinking it might be less strong, but i can’t top tapping my foot… it’s still pretty damned strong
While waiting for my residency, we were waiting to hear them call “Henshaw” but the name’s confusing, they pronounced it “SANTOS” WTF!?

If McCain bails on the debate, Obama should drag up Bob Barr and that Constitution party guy Ron Paul endorsed and debate them instead
