observations on the election

January 24th, 2006
  1. Stephen Harper isn't making any friends in Ontario waiting so long to speak. It's 1:00 am EST!
  2. Turnout was pretty good: 64 per cent so far with more polls to report.
  3. The conservatives were shut out of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
  4. Stephen Harper received 41,549 votes -- did anyone else come close to that?
  5. Wow, the conservatives picked up ten seats in Quebec. Cool.
  6. Michael Ignatieff will be foreign affairs critic and the worst nightmare of whichever conservative MP becomes Minister of Foreign Affairs.
  7. Liam McHugh-Russell garnered more than 8,000 votes. Good work Liam.
  8. I hope Andy Mitchell wins in a recount.
  9. Stephen Harper's speech is really good so far (1:33).

Apple just makes cool stuff. I guess I know what my next machine will be: 15.4" 1.67Ghz Intel Duo Core MacBook Pro.

The name is lame, but the computer looks cool.

Update: maybe it's not so cool after all.
