8tracks Tweets
Thursday, November 20, 2008I spend a lot of time following blogs and tweets pertaining to 8tracks for problems or ideas to help improve the service. Often I find compliments that are encouraging. Here's a list of a few:
@jehawbaker Agreed. Something is up with the last.fm compatibility algorithm, or scrobbling isn't working. 8tracks.com to the rescue!

Moments in my life
Wednesday, November 05, 2008There are moments in my life where something special, exciting or tragic has happened. Anchored to these moments are memories of where I was at the time it happened.
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake happened while I was at my cousin's house. I remember seeing all the terror of it all.
The stock market crash in 2000.
When the WTC towers were attacked I remember being in my suburban house in the kitchen when my aunt called me telling me to turn on the TV.
I remember the day the Columbia Shuttle exploded. I was in my office programming but to a break to listen to the news.
Enough of the bad ...
Now I have an exciting moment to remember. It comes from last night. I was at my friend Joel's house in San Francisco. We just arrived after eating Indian Food. As I walked into the house I saw the news broadcasting the polls just in time to catch Obama's count passing 270.
Moments later I get a phone call from my son. He was cheerful as he said, "Dad Obama won!!!"

Election Day Tomorrow
Monday, November 03, 2008
"A basic fact not discussed in the American press enough is how much non-Americans are pulling for Barack Obama tomorrow. For those of us out here on tour in Europe (and South America recently) it could not be more obvious. The whole planet is biting its nails." - DO THE MATH
I saw this first hand when I was in Brazil. My family there are strong supporters of Obama. The believed his core values would help America's relations with the rest of the world.
I also saw this with the European friends I hang out with in NYC. They strongly support Obama. I was so surprised to hear how closely they followed the race.
I believe America's position in the world has been damaged. It seems to stem from being ignorant to the rest of the world. Historically we just strong arm everything we want. We need to change and open talks with the other countries to look for better ways to work together.
I was raised in a conservative family who believed that helping the people is where you start when the country is down. I've heard many stories from my Grandfather about the depression and how people just kept doing their thing; working through it. Today we need that more than ever. We need a leader who can unify a vision with the people to work through our current situation.
On these terms plus more I myself am biting my nails hoping for Barack Obama tomorrow!
