The Ghost of ILM, Part 2

November 7, 2008

Anybody who remembers my Ghost of ILM post about Circuit City store #238, which is located in the less desirable neighborhood of San Rafael, will not be surprised that it’s on the list of the 155 stores that Circuit City is closing in their restructuring effort. There were people advertising the closeout sale in front of the Best Buy today. Kinda smart, there might be some great deals for anybody who lives in this area. But I don’t feel like spending big money on any consumer electronics right now. Given the economy, I’m wondering if anybody will.

2008 Election Results

November 4, 2008

We had this idea on our friends mailing list today…and Hugh did the Photoshop work to make it happen. I present to you, in illustrated form, the result of today’s election:

bush obama passing the torch 544x334 2008 Election Results

President Bush passes his legacy to the next President of the United States, Barrack Obama.

Update: It’s hard to be cynical after hearing both John McCain and Barrack Obama’s speeches tonight. I think McCain conceded gracefully, and is finding back to the old McCain that gained so much respect across party lines before the election campaign demons took over. And Obama was very good at being upbeat yet realistic, and rallying people for what will be a very difficult fight.

“Yes we can!”

I believe that, and if the entire country gets behind that message, we will turn the US around!

(And no, neither of these quotes pertain to my relationship with Victoria icon razz Pop Culture Wisdom I just thought they were clever observations.)
