One silver lining to the election being over, though, whatever the outcome, is that now I can stop (or at least dramatically cut back) obsessively following every entry in every progressive political blog, every campaign-related article in every major newspaper, and every news item on NPR, thereby getting a huge chunk of time back out of each day.

Amen to that. I no longer need to click on Electoral-Vote.com each morning with trepidation. And The Note has been pretty dead lately. Thank goodness.

Now that I can stop trying to absorb mountains of new political information every day, maybe I can get back to reading this. I’ve had it for weeks and I’m less than 100 pages into it.

My college friend and fellow blogger Tim Jarrett is seeking employment in the Boston area:

I believe that somewhere in the greater Boston area there must be a software or Internet focused company that needs a software product manager who’s been at Microsoft, worked in a CMM Level 3 organization, has been a developer, technical architect, tech support team lead, business intelligence analyst, and sales support engineer, and is an authority on corporate blogging and content syndication. (See my resume for more details.) Anyone want to call me on that bet?

Contact him with any leads. Good luck, Tim!

How many students does it take to change a lightbulb at [various schools]?

“University of Virginia: 13. Ten to form a student committee to vote on whether changing lightbulbs is a violation of the Honor Code, one to change the lightbulb, one to hold the keg he’s standing on and another to attribute electricity to Thomas Jefferson.”
