Here in the states it’s President’s Day also known as Washington’s Birthday (which is not always celebrated on his birthday). It’s a way of celebrating all presidents, especially Washington and Lincoln.
Theres many ways to celebrate President’s Day but one of the ways I like to is in song. First with the Animaniacs whose song only goes up to President Clinton and then withJonathan Coulton’s whose song only goes up to President Bush, the second (for now).
Oh and one more thing, listen until the ending on Jonathan Coulton’s song, it’s worth it.
It’s been 31 days since my state invalidated the rights of an opressed minority. 31 days since we told a group that they were second class citizens based on something they could not control. 31 days since we told our gay siblings, friends, and neighbors and co workers that they were not our equal…
31 days later and I still don’t know how to say how sorry I am to those who had their hopes quashed by bigotry and hate. We will get there eventually but until then I apologize for how wrong we have been for 31 days…going on 32…

So without further ado, and without any spoilers here’s Prop 8 The Musical.
Electronic waste is one of our nations, and the worlds most pressing issues. The inside of my laptop that I am typing on right now is filled with all sorts of horrible materials that can cause immense harm if not disposed of correctly, I’d like to hope that when the time comes to get rid of this machine that it will be handled appropriately by those I entrust with it, and not inappropriately just to make a buck.
UPDATE: I got this message from @sowhatcanido on twitter.
In this message, they link you to The E-Stewards Initiative, which maintains a list of responsible e-cyclers, keep them in mind the next time you need to get rid of some of your old electronic goods.
