Geek Alert!

While traveling on Monday and Tuesday I saw three transport loads (about 25 total) of these funny little cars! There must be a bunch of Geeks that need cars…

Actually they have a pretty cool website that tells you all about the Geekmobile and other Geek Squad random facts. You can tell a bunch of computer geeks put the website together.

Candidate Swapping

Today, I visited both John Kerry and George W. Bush’s web sites, looking for inspiration on online fundraising. If it weren’t for the campaign logos in the upper left hand corners, it’d be easy to confuse the two sites: On Kerry’s home page, there are two pictures of Bush (and only one of Kerry); on Bush’s home page, there are two pictures of Kerry (and only one of Bush). I’m not exactly sure what this says about negative campaigning … but I don’t know if putting more photos of your opponent on your web site than photos of yourself is going to get you into the White House.

I’m also amazed at other similarities between the two sites:

  Bush Kerry
On contributing: Five ways to help right now! Take action
On being a knowledgable voter: Stay informed Get informed
On the issues: Agenda for America Plan for America
On trinkets: W Stuff Kerry gear

Quick glances at both sites says to me it doesn’t really matter who I vote for in November.
