I’m heading off to a pirate themed team retreat tomorrow – and contemplating a software pirate costume… what would that look like?

I just bought a new camera for work – it will arrive next week. I used http://myperfect.com.au/ to choose what type to get. It was useful.
Obama meets Bartlett
A while back I suggested that Obama was the closest thing to Matt Santos (West Wing President number 2) running in this campaign.
Here Obama meets Bartlett in an interesting fact meets fiction interview with West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin.
Obama is creating a great degree of angst in some Christian circles because of his stance on abortion – I’m not going to enter that debate here. I just think his other policies (and there are many) are better than McCain’s – and Palin just plain (nice anagram use there…) scares me. Obama’s oratory skills are still enough for me to tip my ineligible vote in his direction.

Vanilla coke is "teh awesomeness" I prefer its sickly sweetness to that of its older brother.

And other “interesting” Christian marketing.
I wish you could buy some of these items directly from this page.

I’m back at work after a long weekend at Mission Beach. Mission Beach is nice. You should go there.
I heart Annabel Crabb
I know I shouldn’t be saying that sort of thing on the first day of my second year of marriage – but I mean it in a platonic sense. Annabel Crabb is my favourite Parliamentary Press Gallery Journo – she provides obtuse analysis – with a beautiful turn of phrase – see her comments on Bronwyn Bishop at the end of this story.

Speaking of coffee
The pump on my machine seems to be on the blink – so I’m about to fork out the first major bit of expenditure since I fixed up my machine.
I realise I haven’t really gone through the refurbishment process here at length – and I should do that. But this pump will cost me somewhere between $100 and $250 to replace (depending on if I have to get the part new or secondhand). Luckily, the machine made me $100 at a recent church car boot sale – I guess that pays for it.
teaspresso
I’ve often wondered about chucking some loose leaf tea into my coffee machine’s basket (portafiller) and brewing tea using my machine.
http://www.redespresso.com/ – seems it’s possible, and commercially viable.
A day of microblogging continues
I’m using three new free applications that I think are worth sharing:
Rocketdock – creates a mac like doc for windows and is useful for uncluttering your desktop.
Launchy – is similarly useful – just open it and type the first few letters of any program you’d like to launch.
ProPhotoTool (requires Windows Validation) – newly launched Microsoft image metadata editor – useful if you have to manage an image library – like I do.
