Link of the Day [8.31.08]

On Friday, I asked for a link to Obama”s acceptance speech, and m came through with the youtube link. (Thanks, m!) So imagine my surprise that I checked out iTunes and found a free, nice downloadable version of the speech. Yippee! No more pixelated video, and you can put that on your iPhone/iPod to watch whenever or wherever.

Today’s link gets you to the selected speeches of the Democratic National Convention. They’ve added just the audio of the speeches as well. Enjoy and vote Obama!

The Acceptance Speech

I didn't watch it. All the blogs and pundits are atwitter that it was
pretty good. Long on details on how he's going to turn this country
around. How he parried the personal attacks on his patriotism. "When
the big man comes at the small man with all his might, it is the wise
man who steps aside." Inspiring and pragmatic? When will this be on iTunes? And someone post the YouTube link!

“Tens of thousands who could never afford to own, feed and stable a horse, had by this bright invention enjoyed the swiftness of motion which is perhaps the most fascinating feature of material life.”

So you bought an iPhone 3G? I’ve got the old one. You’ve got the new one. There’s nothing special about that right?

This dude bought one, but it came with pics already on the machine. Interesting. You’ve probably read about this already. Just had to post it for the link of the day. I can’t say how real this is. It could all be just one of those internet hoaxes as well.

How many have your name?

Since I live in the United States, there is one of me. I don’t understand why they put the “or fewer” clause when the count is one. Unless you do this from outside the US.
