Seriously Jenny Lewis, you are awesome.

Shelley and I went to the Herbst Theater Tuesday night to see Jenny Lewis and her band, and holy crap were they awesome.

Jenny Lewis has an amazing voice, terrific stage presence, such attitude, she's great.

With her man, the talented Jonathan Rice, and the rest of her band backing her up they were totally awesome.

You know when you go to a show and every song is awesome? That's how it was. Old songs that I knew by heart, new songs that I can't wait to know by heart, it was all great.

If you're not familiar with Jenny Lewis, or her other band Rilo Kiley, check her out.

Calling Canada should not cost $0.29/minute

Why does AT&T charge me 30¢ a minute to call Canada?  I mean, come on.... Canada is not far away, in fact, some people I call in Canada are closer than people I call in the US.

Ridiculous.

Or I can pay AT&T $3 a month for the pleasure of the fantastic rate of 20¢ a minute!  Jeez.  That's still mad expensive.

I guess it's not that much, but it feels silly.  I feel wronged having to pay anything extra to call Canada.

So I've tried Skype, and that's good and all, but I frequently get lag which can be terribly annoying.

Grumble.

How does John McCain get away with claiming he would better regulate the financial industry and then immediately following that with all sorts of small-government, deregulate everything rhetoric?

Ugh.

iGoogle Sidebar

So iGoogle seems to have updated their look and feel.

For the most part I like it, but it seems that the sidebar where your tabs are takes up way too much space, and there's no way to hide it.

Now I imagine the iGoogle team might fix this, but until they do, I made a solution.

It's not perfect, but it'll get you by. Copy this bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar:

Toggle Sidebar

When you're on your iGoogle hompage, it'll toggle that sidebar. Sweet.

Another debate tonight

I think TiVo should record it for me, cause I'm not going to be home in time to watch live.

Stupid East Coast and their "standard time".

If you're still at work, and not watching the debates yet, perhaps pass the time with these two terrific blogs:

Yes We Can (hold babies). 

Yes We Carve 

Brilliantly written

Biden wins the debate!

Biden won that debate, for sure.

Who actually answered the questions asked?

Who presented convincing facts backing up his ideas and plans?

Who referred to himself by his full name a couple of times?  Joe Biden.  That's who.

He rocked that debate.

Get out there and vote!
