News from the job search: Got a letter yesterday from a company I had interviewed with a couple times over the last few weeks. Seemed like a pretty good position and one I thought I was perfectly suited for. The letter said something about me and the horse I rode in on. Funny, I didn't ride a horse. Wonder what they meant? Somehow I don't think I got it.

Other news: In case you missed it (buried in the comments) this years RBT is brought to you courtesy of John Eichenlaub and Andy Allen! Thanks guys!

Can't decide if it is worth it to force your way past the big drift the snowplow piled at the foot of your driveway? Wondering if the roads will be worse than free skating at the rink? Keep your Buckeye on the Roads before you start. Ohio has a look-first site that shows Traffic Cameras, lists Road Closures and Maintenance, lets you look up Weather Related Snow and Ice Conditions (starting November 1), and has automated Road Weather Reporting, including surface and subsurface temperatures in some places (like I480 and State Route 10).

So far, a candidate for US Senator from Illinois seems to be the best person suited for the US Presidency. He appears to combine the hopefullness of McGovern, the intellectual capability of Kissinger (without the Machiavellian paranoia), and the honesty of Jimmy Carter (without shooting himself in the feet). He spent his formative years in the grinding poverty of Indonesia, went to Columbia and Harvard Law, worked in public advocacy in Chicago (turning down a Supreme-Court-track Law Clerk recruitment) and won State office representing the poorest slums of the Chicago area. The New Yorker Magazine online profiles Barack Obama in their October 12 edition. But others have been reformed by the Washington machine after reaching the Senate. His career should be worth watching, in hopes of a future presidental race where there may actually be a clear choice, based not on partisan lines, but on ability and achievement.
