mac mini
Sa-weet!
I just got a mac mini, it's gotta a lot of zip for being the size of a cornish game hen. I will probably get around to putting some new stuff on this blog finally!

Obama in the lead !
Cool, I have been rooting for Barack Obama for the presidency for months, and in today's news he is finally pulling ahead with a 3 point lead over Hillary Clinton, in the Iowa Caucus. Woohoo ! Go Obama. This guy is the only candidate who was against the Iraq war right from the start. You have to admire that.
Here is the press clip -
ES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mike Huckabee surged into narrow leads in Iowa in a poll released on Sunday, barely a month before the state holds the first contest in a shifting 2008 presidential race.

The poll by the Des Moines Register, the state's largest newspaper, showed Obama with a three-point edge over national front-runner Hillary Clinton in Iowa, 28 percent to 25 percent, and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards third at 23 percent.

My new job is a blast
Phew! I taught my first day of high school science today and whaddaya know - it was a total blast!
Some highlights included - running around the room , screeching, with my eyes closed while explaining bat sonar, throwing a bag of plastic balls across the classroom as a demonstration of evaporating atoms, and the old classic - mixing vinegar and baking soda just for fun.
Teaching is a whirlwind mixture of many different things , but the fun part is the challenge of keeping the kids attention focused. I think it will be a fun year.

helluva weekend
Last night an old friend of mine showed up at my house in a really psychotic state and I had to make the tough call of calling the police to have him committed to the psych ward for help.
This morning I found out another dear friend has been in a coma for the past few weeks.
Tomorrow I start my first day as a high school science teacher.
It can be a brutal and harsh world ; all the more reason to try to work hard to love the people that you know and to try to bring warmth and light to a world that badly needs it.
