Random Thoughts for 2008-03-09

• People questioning Obama's experience need to take a look at Dick Cheney. Who has more experience than Cheney? Experience is not sufficient to make a good leader!

• Facebook's changes to prevent application spam seem to be working. The spammy quiz app requests have dropped off nearly to zero. Their upcoming profile design is also a much needed improvement in my opinion.

• I've removed the StatCounter code from this site. I noticed their response rate getting slower, and while the tracker image loads, a small StatCounter text ad is displayed. No thank you! I was also a bit uneasy with providing data on all visitors to a third party, regardless of what my privacy policy says.

• A visitor to this site built a fiber optic Christmas tree based on my RGB LED Rainbow Fader design and uploaded a video of it. Cool!
