Oboy. A little open mic moment opens up the conservative side of the conventional wisdom. Now the only people who haven’t weighed in on Palin and McCain are the swing voters.

One Two Three Pull! Hee hee.

Guess we have to see how it goes tonight to see if Jay is correct, but this is scary shit.

I won’t miss the gross incompetence and malfeasance of the Bush administration.

This is an interesting thought: Google Chrome is really closer to an OS project than a browser.

Virginia Glee Club 1972 European Tour
Continuing this week’s back to school theme (hey, in the fall I get a little nostalgic for UVA), I did a little more spelunking through the broken Cavalier Daily archives and turned up a review of the Glee Club’s 1972 European tour. Check out Around the Western World in Eighteen Days: A Glee Club Diary, and marvel at the thought that college students could once visit the Hofbrauhaus on a University-sponsored trip.
New Dorms replacement project underway at Virginia
It’s great to find out about happenings at my alma mater through Wikipedia. In this case, an edit on the University of Virginia article tipped me to some new developments on Grounds: a new style of dorm that will end up replacing the “New Dorms” that were my home in my first year at UVA.
I like that the new dorm is named “Kellogg House” after my late professor, Robert Kellogg. It’s the first time that one of my professors has had a building named after him.
The dorm looks pretty fancy, but of course the important question is unanswered: what sort of view do the Kellogg kids get into the windows of Balz? And how long will it be before all the dorms are converted over? And how long until the kids start hiding contraband behind the panels in the dropped ceilings shown in the photos? I am deeply envious of the view, but not of the hike that the kids in Kellogg must have had on move-in day…
