Limp Bizkit has a cover of The Who’s Behind Blue Eyes on their new album. I’m not sure if I like it. The album, called Results May Vary is ok, there are only one or two songs that really feel manufactured for the radio. Their cover of Behind Blue Eyes isn’t horrible, they didn’t butcher it, it might grow on me. The song does some weird stuff around the end though. I remember picking up their first album before they took off, it was good metal. I like some of the stuff on the second album, then they stopped doing much for me. This is alright.

I think it’s more fun to be a resident of Ontario than a resident of California. Our leadership race with two candidates provides more entertainment than a field of 130 laced with actors. Check out this article on some of the mudslinging in Ontario’s election race. This is a copy of the actual email that was sent by a staffer at Ernie Eves’ campain headquarters:

Subject: Dear Mister McGuinty

Dear Mister McGuinty

An Occasional Bulletin from Ernie Eves Campaign Headquarters

September 12, 2003

There came a fork in “the high road.” The Liberals took it.

“Ernie Eves is either incompetent and doesn’t know his own platform, or he is purposely misleading Ontario voters.”

— Deputy Liberal Leader Sandra “Better Angels of our Nature” Pupatello, September 12, 2003

“The Eves government isn’t just incompetent. It can actually put you in the hospital – or worse.”

— Hamilton Mountain Liberal MPP Marie “Is Everybody Happy?” Bountrogianni, September 11, 2003

“You can’t trust Ernie Eves when it comes to nuclear safety.”

— St. Paul’s Liberal MPP Michael “China Syndrome” Bryant, September 11, 2003

These jolly, positive, “Who-me-fear-monger?” pronouncements beg a simple question:

“Who really speaks for the Ontario Liberal Party?

Dalton McGuinty. He’s an evil reptilian kitten eater from another planet. (sorry)

There isn’t a whole lot to the article, other than Eves not actually retracting the statement, rather acknowledging that it was over the top and that his staffers should be given less coffee.

You are Slackware Linux. You are the brightest among your peers, but are often mistaken as insane. Your elegant solutions to problems often take a little longer, but require much less effort to complete.

Which OS are You?

It was a long day/night at the paper… it wasn’t a long issue, but we did a lot of short gags, a lot of comics and such. It was torturously hot in EngSoc with all the computers running, all the people, all the humidity and whatever other crap decided to throw itself into the mix. It’s hard to produce good content, when you’re all hot and sticky and sweaty. Things started being more productive later in the evening. I’m not looking forward to the winter months, but I think the fall will be better for efficient newspaper production.

I need to do a computer ethics paper/presentation now. It’s not hard, only 400-500 words and 2-3 minute presentation. My topic for the week is online fraud. If you have any good links kicking around let me know. It’s not actually due until Tuesday afternoon, but I have a group meeting tomorrow night. I guess that I’ll probably actually end up working on it sometime tomorrow afternoon.
