I've gotten involved with a 'grassroots' group of Ron Paul supporters, which isn't like anything I've been involved with before. It's easy to get swept up and convinced that you're doing really important work. Especially with a thug like Giuliani involved. He's sending well-paid highly-organized teams down to Florida to make phone calls and scare the shit out the old people (and everyone else) because, well, that's his MO. Anyway, PBS is broadcasting another debate tonight at 9 EST, at which I'm sure Ron will make the other Republican stooges look like, well, stooges. He's done very well on certain other networks that essentially tried to ambush him and do a hatchet job in an ostensibly neutral forum.

Here are some more Burning Man pictures, in a fun little open-source Flash Polaroid photo gallery I found while bumbling around the Internet. You can move all the things around, and double-click on any one to look at it more closely. I was going to try and tell my Burning Man story here, using words. But enough time has passed that I don't think that's too likely. It was hot during the day and surreal at night. The neatest part by far was getting to catch up with my friends from Montana and California who had also come.

I'm spending a lot of time working on my nascent gaming site. The last couple of weeks have been a little frustrating because I dived into re-doing a bunch of behind-the-scenes stuff that aren't at all visible, and are mostly irrelevant considering the amount of traffic I'm actually getting. But...I'm nearing finishing that stuff up and am excited about making a few more tweaks (including renaming...anyone have any ideas??) on ZChurk, and am definitely excited about the next game I've got brewing. It's more of an arcade-style puzzle game, based very very loosely on Hold'em poker and another obscure game that my friends know about but nobody else does called Money Puzzle Exchanger.
