This is an amazing time in the technological world.  For the first time in presidential elections, the internet allows you to fact-check almost as soon as the words are out of the candidate’s mouth.  No more can politicians say something really dumb and then try and deny it was ever said (since the mp3, YouTube clip, and numerous Twitters have spread it across the web).  Public records are not only available to the public, they are finally accessible!

And, like with everything else that hits a massive surge, we have moronic advertisers who try and cash in on it.  That in itself isn’t so bad (hey, it’s capitalism!).  What’s bad is the fact that they try and do it with automated scripts.

I am an absolute technophile.  I love seeing all the new gadgets that come out and what they can do for me.  I love to think about how I can then modify those gadgets to do even more for me without me having to pay anything more.  I’m a cheapskate, and an enthusiast.

The term “enthusiast” is not one I’ve used all that often to describe myself.  If there were a scale to describe how much of an enthusiast a person could be, I’d imagine I’d be rather low on the scale.  But the fact is, I’m still ON the scale.  There is a very sad down side to being an enthusiast (well, there are probably a few); those same devices that you find you can’t live without aren’t usually everywhere you might need them.
