Triscribe

This is hot topic here. People are starting to get into the thick of the action. I catch snippets of it on CNN Worldwide. Getting the European or HK flavor to American political coverage. I regularly hangout with some guys on Friday and last night was no exception. We did a fair amount of Bush [...]

NY Times reported on the recent passing of Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize DNA person (who would have preferred to not have been typecasted as the DNA person). Some final thoughts on the Democratic convention? Well, I’d like to read the upcoming Time magazine issue for any other comments (haven’t gotten to be on Time’s [...]

Wednesday night was John Edwards night in Boston. Thought that Elizabeth Edwards seemed authentic. She’s a bankruptcy lawyer, so it wasn’t like I’d expect her to be a hugely polished speaker, but she was fine. Edwards seemed lessy sparky than I have seen him in previous instances (I do wonder if I’m on a political [...]

If Day 1 was about Democratic Party past, then yesterday – Day 2 – was the bridge from the past to the future. Some commentary on my part, which may not mean very much: Ted Kennedy started the night off; yeah, he’s the Democrat of the Democratic party, but he was kind of boring (confession: [...]

Just wanted to drop a note. I’ve really enjoyed the recent writings the past couple of weeks. Sorry I haven’t been able to join in. Thing have been quite busy with work. I’ve had to travel to Hsinchu, Taichung and just all around craziness with MIS support issues at local Taipei branches. Meanwhile, things have [...]

Normally, I try not to get too political on Triscribe. (I’ll leave the political correspondence to SSW). I would like to think of myself (and I think most Americans would) as being both conservative and progressive (the “in” version of liberal). It’s not a contradiction — it’s a reflection of how the political parties have [...]

There’s something completely disarming about The Polyphonic Spree. Best known for “Light and Day” from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the one part Beatles, one part Beach Boys, one part non-sectarian choir, one part refugees from a Hair hippy band kicked butt on Craig Kilborne tonight. Try out their Sgt. Pepper-ish flash game. At [...]

Watched the Democratic Party convention, day 1, mostly on PBS (thank you, Jim Lehrer, for giving more coverage than the networks to keep us non-cable-access-news-junkies informed), but I ultimately watched ABC for the 10pm to 11pm hour for the big Bill Clinton finish (pro: Lehrer showed the important speeches; con: Lehrer kept switching to the [...]

A not-terribly exciting weekend. Spent most of it not awake or else still trying to throw stuff out (stuff dating back to the college or law school days or as recent as last week’s mail). In the process of changing offices at work, so cleaning out stuff is also happening at work. Came across copies [...]

Recently watched “Bourne Identity” on video – decent, fun, action-packed, but poignant (character-wise) movie. Now I’m just looking forward to seeing the sequel, opening tomorrow, “Bourne Supremacy.” Doesn’t hurt that “Entertainment Weekly” makes the upcoming movie sound curiously interesting ((a) I’m too easily swayed when EW says something’s good and I can sense that it [...]
