It turns out that during the recall elections and the governor race, Bay Area voted predominantly against Schwarzenegger. According to elections results, San Francisco had a 19.0% vote in favor of the new governor.

This one lasted for six-months, but during that time I traveled quite a bit, including a month-long trip to Moscow, wrote a novel in verse (in Russian, of course), was hospitalized with torn ligaments, but generally led a rather somnambulistic lifestyle.
Lackluster months gave me an opportunity to gather some thoughts on technology, social and spiodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17045735620706698921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514139.post-1058205527382285952003-07-14T10:58:00.000-07:002003-07-14T10:58:47.250-07:00During the week of non-blogging I had several interesting discussions about neo-conservatives. One was prompted by a friend’s blurb on the changing perception of United States in Russia. According to a recent returnee from St. Pete, in a social setting, Russians are ultimately predicting a quick demise of US political and economic domination, not triggered by Russia or the EU, but in some spiodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17045735620706698921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514139.post-1057107181307325752003-07-01T17:53:00.000-07:002003-07-01T18:47:59.646-07:00I was in Mexico over the weekend, which practically precluded me from blogging. Of course, there were Internet cafes and other types of access points (e.g. hotel rooms), but the cost seemed to be prohibitive in the extreme. Even with typing 60-70 words per minute, the cost of making a blog entry would have run into dollar figures. Which, of course, is counterintuitive from the perspective of aspiodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17045735620706698921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514139.post-1056698435445896852003-06-27T00:20:00.000-07:002003-06-27T00:30:45.623-07:00Quantum Art's™ work with local governments always provides for interesting contradictions. I was reminded today of a county IT director that was tasked by the CIO to produce a 25-year technology spending and implementation plan. As hilarious as this may sound, there is some reason to it: the same IT director told Quantum Art that he needs to budget hardware purchases a year in advance (i.e. ifspiodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17045735620706698921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514139.post-1056643309504319822003-06-26T09:01:00.000-07:002003-06-26T09:01:49.523-07:00According to CNN, today's study released by the IRS indicates that "wealthiest 400 taxpayers in the United States accounted for 1.1 percent of U.S. adjusted gross income in 2000." The numbers are striking, not only because of the significant growth in the gross income share of the richest 0.1%, but more so in light of the stagnation in the bottom 10%.

A few interesting ideas and thoughts on vlogging immediately came out: Vlogs are not an alternative to blogging, they are spiodinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17045735620706698921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5514139.post-1056612423015126932003-06-26T00:27:00.000-07:002003-06-26T00:29:10.073-07:00So after several attempts, a few posts about the beauty of blogging and the precariousness of the same, I have decided to wholeheartedly embrace the medium.
