Good luck Obama, but this post is red
I don't mean to jinx things down south and on the eve of one of the most critical US elections I can remember, I am, along with most of the world and a good part of the States, crossing my fingers and holding my breath, hoping for the Blues to win. So much can still go wrong. Polls are like politicians: they cheat and they lie and they deceive. But then again, we are cheering for one politician who, we hope, won't do much of the above. My biggest fear, considering who is running the country right now - and what they have to lose if Obama gets in - is for the elections to be rigged.

And my biggest hope, along with everybody else's, is that my biggest fear and my biggest worry will soon be put behind, dismantled as if unnecessary weaponry, disarmed like antiquated nuclear weapons and forgotten among the many nightmares of the past.Today's post, however, will be red. It's not my fault. The Republicans
New web site - Progress update
Because I am neglecting this blog so badly and because hearing myself talk about it will encourage me to keep pushing forward, here's a brief update on the site redesign process. I have just about completed the skeleton and will soon be addressing all galleries themselves (as in choosing which pictures make it to the limelight and which don't.) The site still runs on a basic HTML structure in order for it to remain search-friendly, but the main gallery is ran by Flash and the main HTML text content is accessible through javascript.Adapting Slideshowpro to suit my needs has proven to be quite an interesting task but I've finally got it to do what I want when I want where I want. Flash provides by far the most elegant, dynamic and interactive solution for photo slide shows. There are downsides, of course, and the next challenge will be SEO. But as it is, the gallery is fast, slick and I think it really serves its purpose as a showcase.As I mentionned above, to retain some searchability, I've built the few text-based extra pages like Bio, About, Contact and the like in classic HTML. But they are served via Shadowbox in

The general elation over here is palpable.
You are lucky to witness it all first hand. History is usually so ugly, but today her pretty face is refreshing and invigorating. Enjoy the bubbles! :-)
I still have some bubbles, reclining in the fridge as we speak, with silver spoon to keep them bubbling. MIT writes from Downunda, you know :-)
Estorbo is starting a petition to get a cat (black of course) into the White House. He says without a cat to purr Obama through the bad times, history cannot be written happily.
LOL, sorry MIT, that obvious fact had eluded me…
Estorbo: good idea. A black cat in the White house. Are the mice gray?
