At least according to this little survey (takes like five to 10 minutes to complete). I was fairly even all across the board in how I learn.

Then again I have always been a balanced learner. I remember getting tested for this kind of thing back in grade school and I was even across the board like this.

Anyways it was fun to do again even though the questioning is a little odd to me. A lot of answers come up as “Sometimes” for me.

Ah, ever since my old laptop died back in the early part of summer I have been waiting around for a new update to Apple’s notebook line. Today they updated with lots of new goodies. I really want one but will probably have to wait another month or two.

Is it really that hard for us all? I mean if little kids can figure out who they want in the Oval Office then why can’t we?

My favorite is the little blonde kid with glasses. Then again they are all cute.

Wow, not to bad for a sports fan like myself to go from the 25th best sports city in America to the third best. I know Dallas is a good sports town, though the third best is a little high in my opinion based on what I’ve seen out of people here.

But for Morgantown to be in the top 25 because of WVU is awesome. The only other college town that comes above Morgantown was Lawrence, Kansas, which is home to Kansas University.

Pretty cool, pretty cool.

I love the Chicago Cubs but I know when something is true when I see it. This is sad but definitely true…and a bit funny too. I found this on ESPN’s Page 2. It’s a Facebook page for The Billy Goat. You Cubs fans know what I am talking about here.

Sometimes you just can’t make things up. I saw this link on CNN earlier and thought there was no way it was a real story but indeed it is. A new space race. Build an elevator into space.

Wow.

I watched the first 30 minutes or so of last night’s VP debate in St. Louis. For the most part it was all laughable and I have a feeling we will see a cheesy version on Saturday night on NBC’s SNL.

When the two candidates came out on the stage and you hear Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin say to Joe Biden “can I call you Joe?” you knew it was going to be an interesting debate.

Both danced around issues, and in the end I would say Biden probably came out on top looking like a better candidate for VP. Palin kept saying she wanted to “talk to the American people” but I felt she danced around more than Biden. Its pretty funny when the moderator said after the second question of the night that neither answered the question that was asked to them.

You can tell that all the GOP wanted Palin to do was back John McCain and tell his stuff. Biden spent most of the night attacking McCain.

But yeah, my vote went to Biden last night. The man is going to be money on stupid quotes though. Not George Bush money on stupid quotes but enough that will make you laugh and hate the guy at the same time.

Nine months are down, finished, over in 2008. Already three-forths the way through here this year. Man, it is true what they say, the older you get the faster time flies. Summer was here and then there (thankfully the heat went with it) and now we are moving into Fall…well most of the country is at least. Texas Fall starts in like late November and last a couple weeks.

So what’s going on here? The economy stinks as usual, which is causing my daily work to get interesting with clients and the company I work for. Money appears to be getting tight for everyone. It’s a shame really, because I never really know what to think about money and the economy. Some parts do well, while others suffer.

A circle of life I suppose.

I’m honestly not too terribly worried over it all though. I realized at the start of the year that it was going to be an interesting one.

Time will tell as always though.

Okay, so I thought I would blog some from ACL and that never happened. ACL was great though, I’m exhausted but it was totally worth going. I saw more bands that I probably would never get to see in a single weekend ever again.

Bands I enjoyed:

  • Foo Fighters – best way to end a weekend…
  • NERD – Probably would never go to one of their concerts but man they were fun live
  • Gnarls Barkley – Same as NERD…plus a Radiohead cover was awesome
  • Beck – Started late and ended early kinda put a damper on his solid show
  • Band of Horses – heard from a distance before Foo Fighters, what I heard sounded good
  • MGMT – Loved it all, they really could have been on a bigger stage
  • Vampire Weekend – Nice way to start the weekend for me..
  • John Fogerty – Amazed at the amount of solid music this guy has done over the years.
  • The Black Keys – A band that’s probably going to explode before long.

Others that were alright:

  • Old 97’s: Yeah not bad.
  • Blues Travelers: Same old sound.
  • Silversun Pickups: Had high hopes but they screamed too much.
  • Flyleaf: Too much yelling but not too horrible.
  • Patty Griffin: I was actually surprised that I liked her.
  • Manu Chau: Couldn’t understand him since he was Spanish but it sounded good.

I will try to put up any photos that I got from the weekend when I can.

I am coming to you all tonight from the road! Gotta love being able to blog anywhere these days, even without a computer! Yup, I’m on my phone blogging!

Anyways, Becca and I are on our way to Austin for ACL. I may try to blog more on my phone while I am there.
