Sign: Stop: Internet Archive
I finally got a good shot of the Internet Archive HQ with a stop sign and just the right sky.
I'm spending a few days at the Archive to work on some technical/process issues related to the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
The "Stop" sign is part of my fixation on the octogon (http://flickr.com/groups/499908@N23/)

New Hampshire Primary "Victory" Songs!
Watching the various "victory" speeches after the New Hampshire primary - since no one, not even Mike Gravel "lost", I was intrigued by the choice of "fade out" music by the various candidates. What can we make of the following:
- Hillary Clinton. "American Girl" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- Barack Obama. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder
- John Edwards. "Our Country" by John Mellencamp
- Mitt Romney. "Dirty Water" by the Standells (my vote for oddest choice! What are we to make of his choice of a song about breaking college curfews by frustrated 1960 coeds!?!?!)
- John McCain. (Didn't catch his)
