Non-Paper Daily, 3.3.09

*Bill Gates doesn't allow iphones and ipods in his house. Principles baby.

*Today the primary was held in Illinois' 5th Congressional District to determine who will run for Rahm Emmanuel's old position. Now that Rahm is running the show as Obama's Chief of Staff, there is an opening for an up-and-coming Democrat in this highly Democratic district.

*The Obama Administration is doing many things right in the international arena, including their announced withdraw from Iraq to be completed in 18 months. In addition, they are doing away with the Bush Administration policy of refusal to engage with nations with whom our relations have soured. Recently they have begun talks with Iran, Syria, and Russia. Good for them.

*While playing basketball is fun, waking up at 5:30 to do it is rough. Just thought I'd share.

Elonski Basketball

Rarely do I get the chance to boast about my alma matre's sporting exploits. With the exception of our baseball team it's hit or miss, well mostly miss, with the rest of the teams. However, tonight Elon matches up against Davidson with the winner heading to The Big Dance. The Big Dance!!!! So, as I type I'm watching the game get started... you heard that right: Elon is on the tube in Oregon. So off to watch the game.
Body paint and biceps. H.O.T.

UPDATE: Down 30-22 at half.

UPDATE 2: Down 45-39 with eight minutes to go

FINAL UPDATE: Lost 65-49. Looks worse than it was. We were down five with about four minutes left and they went on a run to put us away. We were close!
