Democratic National Convention: Living in it

So a brief update, and more will of course follow. I had the opportunity to Attend the National Black Caucus of State Legislators (NBCSL) event held at Mezcal Restaurant last evening, which was a wonderful experience. I’ll have pictures posted this evening (the day job takes precedence) and a more thorough commentary. As for this moment, I’m realizing it’s a little frightening to see so many police and official vehicles roaming through the streets of Downtown Denver, and hearing phrases like “Free Speech Zone” thrown around without realizing how ridiculous that sounds.To illustrate what I mean, this image made it up on reddit.com this morning and it’s real; there really are police who are armed like this scattered throughout the downtown area.

More to come

Amazon Recommendation Engine WTF?

So as I was taking a break and looking on Reddit at this particular story titled “Great Lesson for the Kids” (here) which in itself was entertaining. Naturally I wanted to see what the review was actually about. So of course following links on amazon you get their “Customer’s who viewed this item also viewed:” bar. I looked at it for a second and instantly thought, WTF? Who is looking for Playmobil sets and then suddenly decides to search for this?!
