Two things I definitely want to buy sometime in the new future:

1. One of these bad boys.  I just want something portable and I don't need a power machine.
2. The Kaossilator touchpad synthesizer.  This would be a great addition to our BMAS repertoire.  I mean, check out the video:

I think it would be cool to rock one of those things live.

I am Kyle's self-indulgence: Select Smart

This is kind of the last minute, but before you vote in the Presidential primaries (assuming you have not yet done so), pick a candidate who matches your views and values. A novel idea, I know! But with news organizations focusing mostly on candidates' personalities and war chests, I get the impression that too many people are clueless about what candidates actually stand for.

Kyle points to SelectSmart, which is a pretty great candidate matcher. I know there are a lot of these out there but this one allows you to select how important each issue is to you and gives you links to each candidate's information. It also tells you which candidates are still in the race. I highly recommend it if you are still on the fence about who to vote for in the primaries, which for many folks is tomorrow!

I had a pretty decent weekend. The Super Bowl was great. That catch off the helmet and Eli throwing off an insane amount of defenders was crazy. Kudos to Justin for being a great host. Phil and I spent most of Saturday cleaning graffiti off of the trailer for his sound system. That kind of sucked but it was a good time hanging out. School is back in full swing so that's definitely keeping me busy. Hope all you folks out there in blog land had a good one.

I made up my mind some time ago to vote for Barack Obama, even though the perpetual longshot Dennis Kucinich has traditionally matched my views most closely.

Today, however, I went on SelectSmart.com, a site that asks questions about your political views and lets you rate them as high or low priorities. Check out who my closest match is:

It makes me feel even better about voting for Obama, knowing that he may actually be the best fit for my political views, and not merely the best of the candidates that remain.

Now you try it. How well does your candidate of choice match your positions?

Patriots Finish 18-1.

I know... I am biased.

But this is really damn cool:
