Wednesday is National Punctuation Day.

Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

PBS is running a poll right now that asks if Sarah Palin is qualified and ready to be VP...and right now more than half the respondents say yes.
Regardless of your political views, if you'd like to share your opinion by taking the poll, it's here: [link]

I have fallen in love with a piece of software I bought to use later this year with my class when we study graphic novels. It's called Comic Life, and it is incredibly easy and fun to use. Plus, under $30! I highly recommend it if you've ever had a desire to make comics but, like me, lack the artistic talent to do so. This Mac program is completely integrated with iPhoto (though I believe there's now a PC version as well), so it's super easy to use your pictures. Buffista parents, I guarantee you would have a blast turning your kidlets into comic book characters using this program.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting about it here is because I used some of the F2F House on the Rock pictures to test it out, and I thought some of you might enjoy the result. It's hardly professional (no snarking at the layout, Pete!), but it took me all of 30 minutes to make and was a lot of fun.
Here's the link: [link]
Enjoy!
ETA: If you want to comment, let's take it to the F2F thread so we don't muddy up Press. (Plus, F2F only has 30 posts left in thread! We can use the comic to kill it off and open a new one!)

If you know anyone who is not registered to vote or anyone who works with unregistered folks, new voters or anyone else who might need some encouragement, please pass along this cool, poignant and instructive video .
It's a bunch of celebrities talking about why you shouldn't vote and then getting serious about why you should. It also includes a quick and simple way to register online...before tomorrow, which is the deadline in some states.
Apologies if this is a link repeated in a thread I haven't read. I found it in a UK paper.
ETA: BEWARE...this video includes significant swearing...cuz you know that is what inspires the cool kids.
