I’m seriously glad the presidential election is done with for this whole spectacle has been going on for way too long. Sure, some amazing history has been made in the process, but the actual debates and issues discussed can be summed up with one word - boring! When I look back at my blog posts in 2004 I was actually following the debates quite closely, not so this time around. The first debate was lackluster, and I did not even get through the second and third one. Now that this political circus is over with, congratulations president-elect Obama, hopefully all the other politicians will get back to what they are supposed to do: work for the people and this country. There are plenty of issues to fix, from the economy to energy policy, to the education system, and America’s competitiveness. One thing that will be interesting to watch is whether all the people that turned out for the election, will actually stay involved in politics and improving this country. Or whether, due to the ever decreasing attention spans and even shorter visions of college graduates and CEOs alike, they will declare this election a victory and go home to doing nothing, rather than seeing it simply as a starting point to create something better long-term. And while all this will be happening, I’ll go back to what I do best, waste a lot of time tweaking a few new components that I just installed in my home PC, namely the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Quad-Core processor and the Zalman CNPS9500 AT cooler – the chip might be expensive but it absolutely tears through anything that I can throw at it. Rather than overclocking the chip I will most likely see how low I can drop the voltage in order to keep the temperatures inside my case reasonable.
