Was about my business tonight surfing and found a link to Audible.com—an Online Store for Digital Audio Books. Quite an amazing online business and very well run. Their offer (free month subscription and one free audiobook) caught my attention and I signed up. Within 10 minutes of signing up I recieved my free audiobook of my choice, The Face by Dean Koontz. You have the option to select from 4 different audio qualities to download, plus the option to stream. It took me all of 5 minutes to download the first half of the book (128 MB) at highest quality and is now transferring to my iPod. Quite impressed. Now I can finally get all the audiobooks I want on my iPod.

I Voted, First Time
Got out to the booth this morning on my way to work. Interesting to see how politics work and how the american society as a whole operates. Being a 19 year old going up to the booth, I was definately in the minority. Wearing my shirt from threadless.com and getting a few strange looks, I signed my name and punched the holes. My vote was equaled with anyone else in the country, including any senator or member of the house.
Can’t believe how much CBS news caught a hold of my attention tonight. Mainly from their amazing touch-screen program that displayed the spendings of each campaign on television ads in each region of every battleground state. The election night is being very well done as far as the functionality and design of the presentation. I’m quite impressed.
The race goes on… Bush is up… lets hope he stays up.
The United States of Leland
One of the best movies of its time. An independent film that won many awards from the Sundance Film Festival in 2004. It stars Kevin Spacey, Jenna Malone, Ryan Gosling, and Chris Klein. Why is this drama so good? Because anyone can relate to Leland. Going throughout the movie, his thoughts really hit hard. Why does everyone see the outcome of every experience as a failure? Why does Leland have to see the sadness in every relationship. I’ve seen this movie twice and loved it to death both times.
Supporting the movie is an amazing soundtrack that wasn’t realeased, yet preleased versions of it sold for $50-80 dollars on ebay.
