This’ll be interesting to watch over the next few hours. Technorati has provided a feature for bloggers around the world to vote for or against Bush or Kerry. Given that the blogosphere seems to be firmly skewed toward being Democrat, I think we’ll see Kerry win this poll easily. However, what will be more interesting is to see how aligned we are to the citizens of the U.S.

Given I can’t say which has the better policy, as I haven’t followed it that closely, I’ll vote against Bush. He, as the Republican leader, just doesn’t seem to be all there. However, if he does win, it’ll be fun listening to some more Bushisms.

Given that a good deal of people have just started writing for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). “Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30″.

Given that great characters are part of a great story, I thought it might be a good idea to help out by giving us your favourate fictional character. It might inspire the courageous NaNoWriMo writers.

Currently, I’d have to say that James Spader is brilliant as Alan Shore in The Practice. He’s the extreme lawyer, not on the edge, but right of the cliff. He says exactly what no one would expect him to. Brilliantly funny. People should try that at least once in their novels.

Pass it on. Let’s here what your favourate fictional character is.

Tama, our local expert on Blogs and Universities, has started testing Podcasting. I’m keeping an eye on it so when he goes beyond Homer Simpson quotes I’ll be ready.

Tama, when you’re close, let us know your hardware/software run down. Should be interesting.
