I suppose it's the Mecca-equivalent for U2 fans: seeing them perform live in their hometown. So that's what I get to do in July as I travel to Dublin for the U2360 tour. This will be my 12th time seeing them live, and I'm expecting nothing short of a brilliant time! The new album rocks, by the way. update 2009.04.06: I'll be at two shows in Dublin (July 24, 25), and two back in the states (Charlottesville, VA and DC).

On March 2nd U2 will be releasing their new album! It's only been over FOUR YEARS since their last - not that I'm impatient or anything. Here's hoping for another great one from them. The album will be titled No Line On The Horizon and will be available in five different release formats (including books, DVDs, etc, etc). Time to start saving up for the tour.

Well, tomorrow's the big day, where people in the United States think they are being all democratic by voting based on nothing more than sound bites, attack ads, and soothing words of a demagogue. In some small way I wish we could be visited by zombie Jefferson and Madison to give us a collective slap in the face so we wake up to the laughable situation we're in as a republic. A democracy only works when the voting citizenry is educated. In other words, have actually read the Constitution that sets up and restricts the power of the Federal government. We've slowly traded away our freedoms for more government control, and the next four years will only see that getting much worse, no matter which of the two major candidates find their way into office. I'm certainly not an optimistic person by nature, but I'm feeling downright hopeless for the United States of America.

The Large Hadron Collider recently had a successful test of its proton beam, and the first collisions will probably start in October. With all the hoopla about black holes and runaway antimatter annihilation, this website will help everyone keep an eye on the status of the earth and whether or not it's been destroyed yet by the LHC: [www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com]
