Light posting tonight. I discovered Media portal.

By -
Aside from being bushed from doing the weekly back and forth from Brookings, I'm trying to get my ducks in a row for later this week.

I'm going to be making a point to spend some time at the peanut caucus on a regular basis, and I'm also trying to figure out whether I'm going to live blog the Sutton evening hearings from home (or if I'm going to show up for the audience and blog after the fact).

I'm also taking some time out to configure my PC with Media Portal. What is it? Think Windows XP Media Center version on steroids... And it's free. Interested in downloading it? Go here.

Yes, I'm a techno-geek at times. A friend had told me about the XBMC project, but in the process, I found a similar program for the PC in Media Portal. It turns your PC into a media center without some of the headaches and hardware costs you might experience otherwise. It also allows you easy access to pictures slide shows and music.

So all you readers (and fellow bloggers) with a TV capture card - go check it out and configure it. It's worth your while.

9:52 - that comment is SO going away.

Allegations about people's sexual preference - especially anonymous ones - have been, and will continue to be out of bounds.

Unless you would put it in a political commercial, I don't want to hear it.

Way to go PP! Back you on your posting. I did not see what was posted, but just the same. No Anon, no proof, no blog.
Protect us, them, and yourself!

PS: This is stated in postive form towards PP.

PP - Why are you attending the peanut caucus? Do you feel like you don't here enough whining? Are you looking for a group of Cro-Magnons who can't accept that they are in the extreme minority across the state? Just wondering.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
