I am at DeFrag 2008. The location of the anonymous nerd in my  Box Opening Video has not yet been discovered (except by both of my sons).

Hint … I am the anonymous nerd in the box opening video … and an even bigger hint:

Make certain you see Stephen's link in the comments to this post … a video shout! m

Molly and I are exhausted, but thrilled to have a new son-in-law! Here is a bit of Karen's and Matt's special day. Click upon any thumbnail for a full sized view.

Last night was the final debate … gee … Obama … McCain … or the Northstar Nerd? I have run no vicious attack advertisements, and I promise … two pocket protectors for every nerd in America! You can even cast your vote for my cause via CreateDebate. See my prior post with a link to my debate.

Last week while on a business trip to the East Coast, WNYC (New York City's NPR radio station) mentioned that a typical citizen in Minnesota (the home of the Northstar Nerd) has the great fortune to be seeing/listening to the most political advertisements of any citizen in the USA.

It's now T minus 2 days till I marry off my daughter. I'm on vacation today and obviously thinking heavy thoughts!
