My friend Ian Rhett put this song together a while ago. Back in July, he was invited out to the DNC in Boston to play this in front of Democratic leaders and delegates. He’s trying to get a million people to see the video by November 2nd. He’s halfway there. It’s a very moving piece, quite a departure from the attack politics of the election. Watch it and spread the meme.

Abolish the Electoral College. It’s time your antiquated ass subsides into history. This is a petition. You really should sign it.

They’ve done it for many years in Berlin, with close to 2 million people hitting the streets. Now the Love Parade comes stateside, hitting San Francisco in a very natural and easy way. We have Burning Man, full moon parties, a thriving night life scene, and plenty of hungry freaks always looking for new freak opportunities. It makes complete sense that SF is the first US city to host a Love Parade. I took these pictures before my camera’s batteries went bye-bye. Why do Sony Cybershot’s die completely with the lens still extended? Major design flaw, never had that problem with my Canon.

Also, Earthdance pix from a few weeks ago. Hey, I was part of the largest drum circle in the world, led by Micky Hart (4000+). The love keeps on giving.

The activist resource social network known as Indyvoter.org has achieved flaccid soft launch. Hard launch is expected soon. Just a few more long initimate nights of coding by the dev team. Check it out. Create an account, explore people, communities, events, and voter guides. Gimme feedback. Seriously, we need it. And yeah, we know it’s slow. Do you know how to optimize a MySQL RDF object store? Yeah? We NEED you, and you don’t know it yet but you need US. And you’ll soon be eating Zante’s for free for as long as you like. If you’ve got the skillz, we gotta connect!
