Today is the day of the mayoral election here in Accordion City. If you’re eligible, make sure you vote today!
If you’re still undecided, one place online you might want to check out is Rick McGinnis’ excellent election blog, Last Chance City.
(If you really must know, David Miller’s getting my vote.)
The next couple of entries in this blog will be about the very lovely week I’ve had, with highlights from:
- Dad’s retirement party. Much silliness ensues (not to mention belly dancing) when gynecologists pay tribute to one of their own — my Dad!
- Kerry-Ann’s birthday limo ride. Proof that the “Grey Poupon” gag never gets old.
- Thirtysexy! Photos from Saturday’s party, which will fuel tales for years to come.
As a taste, here’s a photo (courtesy of Rannie “Photojunkie” Turingan) that sums up the party quite nicely:

Post-party report
Before I begin, my thanks to all those who attended, double thanks to all those who helped out with setting up, and triple thanks to my housemates, who went above and beyond the call of duty in helping get this thing together. It was an excellent party, and I have no idea how I’ll top it next year…yet.
If you attended, you probably know what happened.
If you didn’t, you missed out on: two bathtubs packed to the rim with booze, the most eclectic group of partiers you’ll find anywhere, good music, great conversation, unbloggable drama and co-ed semi-naked and naked hot tub action.
Plus, I used my schmooze-fu to talk the cops down from lots of fines to a stern warning.
I’ll report in more detail once I’ve had some sleep. Watch this space!

Limo?!
Sam’s just called the house — she’s taking her friend Kerry-Ann out for her birthday in a limo and has asked Paul and I to join her in ten minutes. Being a Modern Gentleman and having learned the value of gusto-going over the years, I always have a good suit and a party mood at the ready for such occasions.
More news as it happens.

Enjoying my birthday present
I’m working on some TPS reports (a survey of the users of OpenSRS client software) on the company-provided desktop computer, while watching my new birthday present, the DVD of the movie Revolution OS on my PowerBook. The movie is a documentary about the Free Software/Open Source/Linux movement, featuring interviews with RMS, Linux, ESR, Bruce Perens and the usual suspects. While the film doesn’t have much that will be new to someone who’s had a Slashdot account for a few months, it’s still pretty neat to see and hear the people in the scene. A number of people have stopped by my desk out of curiosity, enough to convince me to hold a lunchtime screening in one of the meeting rooms next week.
Thanks for the DVD, Paul!
