background noise

[totient]

I'd much rather have the ballgame as the background for the work I'm doing than the debate. Even though we're losing 8-3 to the Yankees and it's only the top of the fourth. Even though a Red Sox loss today would clinch the division for the Rays. Even though Aardsma just hit Giambi on the hand. It's still vastly better for my blood pressure than the other thing.

I watched the debate and actually thought it was much better and more of a real debate than any previous presidential debate I've seen. Obama came across as being better prepared, because in the second half McCain was repeating himself and getting less relevant.

I don't think I'm going to watch the vice presidential debates though. I might accidentally put something through the TV screen.
