We're checking into the hospital tomorrow at 4:00 to start the baby delivering process. We'll both attempt to blog the big news on here when we're able, but if that proves tricky for any reason, I'll use twitter (via my cell phone) instead, so keep an eye on there (my twitter messages are also transmitted to my facebook header) if you're keen on ( Read more... )

The person who used to have Cosmicity (the correct spelling) as a username here on LJ finally dropped it. Woo! So, I changed this journal to the correct name. Ah. Feels good to have it right ( Read more... )

This is pretty fascinating. Want to directly affect the outcome of the next primaries? This new website called saysme.tv just launched, and for about $50 a pop, you can run a political TV commercial in any market. So, for example, if you want Obama to win in Indiana, you could buy an ad and run it on CNN for $50 to help him out. Choose from ( Read more... )
