Well, I got FiOS Internet and TV service installed today. The installation took most of the day and then I spent the rest of the day cleaning and throwing out junk because I had to move a bunch of furniture and a whole lot of crap out of my closet for the installation.

Today, Barack Obama officially became the 44th President of the United States. Former President Bush is finally done. I don’t envy Barack Obama. He’s got a his work cut out for him, considering what he’s being handed.

Fighting in Gaza
They’re never going to stop fighting until one side loses the will to fight or one side’s all dead. I don’t claim to know a lot about Middle East. But here’s what I do know. Israel ain’t going anywhere. They will always be backed by the United States. Its military and technological advantages mean they can wage war way better than any Arab countries/factions in the region. Organizations like Hamas or countries like Iran have publicly stated that they don’t want Israel to exist. And they will NEVER lose the will to fight, given their propensity for things like suicide bombing. There’s the conundrum: an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. How many Presidents have tried to establish peace in the region? It never ends.

Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP
I’m writing this from a spanking new Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP LCD monitor. This thing is a little bigger than I thought, I actually have to turn my head a little to look at the left and right sides. It definitely improves my workflow immensely when I’m using Photoshop and Dreamweaver. There’s just so much more space on the screen to work with. Not to mention I have some 1080p videos that look absolutely gorgeous on this thing.

Iraqi Journalist Throws Shoes at President Bush
See the video here. It’s a New York Times video with the actual sound. You can see a news editted version from MSNBC below. I think anyone who reads my blog knows what I think of Bush, but this is not the right way to send a message. It’s completely useless actually and disrespectful. I gotta admit, Bush has pretty good reflexes. The guy was pretty close and that first shoe came at him pretty fast and he managed to dodge it. Not bad. It’s pretty shocking to see the most powerful man in the world get shoes thrown at him. The Bush legacy… ha.

Back to Work
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. My break was definitely a much needed rest. I actually attended a wedding on Thanksgiving with my family so the food was great. I slept in everyday from Thursday to Sunday, which was really nice. Overall, it was a good rest and helped clear my head. But it’s back to work now. A couple more weeks until Christmas!
