Vote-scam fliers target black philadelphia neighborhoods

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

This is crazy. I would say its a new low for the GOP but it isn’t The GOP has stepped up to the plate once again and swung for the fences. According to the Philadelphia Daily News there has been an anonymous filer being passed around some black neighborhoods in philadelphia warning residents that there will be undercover officers arresting people with outstanding warrants.

I guess the Republican plan has changed to keep people from voting so they have a chance of pulling off a win in this election. I wonder if they are still holding that Diebold card up their sleeve. If you can’t win an election by votes on your own and you don’t have friends to help you buy or rig the election there really is only one answer.

Keep the other side from voting there by making your sides votes count for more.

If by some chance the republicans do win, I wonder how long it will take before we get a knock on the door from the gestapo asking us for our papers.

Update on my Sceptre X9

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

In my last post about my broken Sceptre X9 I was waiting for the capacitors to arrive. I’ve been busy and have not had a chance to post an update until now. The monitor is back to working 100% of the time. All told it cost me less than $10.00 in parts and about 30 minutes of time.

Of the four capacitors that are on the power supply I only ended up replacing one. There was one that was defiantly bad. The top was popped up and split open and it didn’t smell to great. I thought about replacing the other three with new ones while I had it apart but ended up not wanting to fix things that were not broken (yet).

I’m not sure how long this fix will really last before the other three go bad and I have to do it all over again but at least this time I’ll have the extra capacitors I need on hand.
