I was feeling bored so I was typing in “Obama is a moron,” but before I was able to finish, these helpful suggestions popped up. Just goes to show, if you want to see how people really think, just Google it!

Now who do we most associate change with? If you answered Obama, give yourself a cookie, because he’s the one I’ll be ripping on in this post. Continue reading only if you don’t mind a little Obama-bashing.

A little late on today’s post, but I’m still technically on time. Down to business, I was browsing around, being totally unproductive one day, when I stumbled upon (no pun intended) an interesting bit of news. Apparently, China had banned World of Warcraft because they didn’t want the “democratic west corrupting the People’s Republic of China (that in itself is the biggest lie here).”

WPWebHost is holding a design competition to find the best-looking Wordpress-powered blogs around the web. I submitted this blog to the “Best Clean & Minimalistic” category, and it made it into the top 10! I was quite excited and pleased to see my blog on the list, and I’m hoping that I may have some success in the final round. It’s no longer the judges’ decisions, it’s all up to you guys, the readers. You have to vote for the best-looking blogs in each category. I’m not going to directly say vote for me, I’m just going to suggest that you guys make the right choice 
You can vote here, my blog is under the “Best Clean & Minimalist” category.
Thanks to NY and its pointless Regents examinations, I have next week off from school. Since the semester ends on Monday, that means there’ll be no homework for the whole week. I have no idea what I’m going to do for an entire week at home, but it’s gonna be awesome.
On the subject of politics, Obama won the right to own and use a Blackberry-esque smartphone. Here’s what it’s going to look like:
Obama's New Phone
It’s the Humvee of smartphones, and is estimated to cost around $3000, give or take a few hundred. It’s manufactured by General Dynamics, the same company that made the F-16.
In other news, when Obama’s media team came to the White House, what they found was a bit shocking…“The team members, who were used to working on Mac systems, found computers with very old versions of Windows installed and in fact not enough computers for use. Laptops were also assigned to only a few people.”Source: Neowin
That’s a bit scary, to know that the White House still has computers with Windows 98… Hopefully Obama’s team will get some nice new Macs into the White House.
Obama was sworn into office today at around noon. I watched the inauguration ceremony at school, at least until the crappy Dell broadcasting it crashed. The brainless IT “specialists” couldn’t fix it all…
With Obama’s new reign, the whitehouse.gov website has been completely redone. I have to say, it’s looking pretty good. Hopefully, all the other icky government websites will get a makeover. Out with the old, in with the new.
On the topic of new websites, the new design has arrived. It’s completely borked in IE, but it looks good in other standards-compliant browsers. And now (for real this time) back to working on 3Cogs.
