Perils of e-Democracy

I especially like the default password of '1111' on the voting machines, and the fact that this is probably still the password on a large number of these machines. And the fact that the same key (the same little chunk of metal) will access the memory card on every single machine.

Season 3 premiere of Lost

I watched the season 3 premiere of Lost tonight.

I bought season 1 on DVD a little over a year ago having never before watched the show. I was hooked after about 2 episodes. But by the time I finished watching season 1, season 2 had already started. I didn't want to come into the season partway, so I just didn't watch season 2 until I bought that on DVD about a month ago.

So tonight was the first time I'd watched Lost in prime time. I gained two pieces of insight from the experience:

1. Lost rocks
2. commercials suck

I'm just hoping that season 3 of Lost is better than season 3 of Alias.
