Make great sounding layered music with inudge....this is really fun!!

Inudge

inudge is a simple synthesizer that lets you build musical loops by lighting up little boxes. It's so well-built that you can pretty much swipe your mouse across the screen and come up with a pleasant tune.

I was on the Elections Department website last week to check if I was still eligible to vote, and discovered that my name had been expunged from the voters' register for failing to 'vote' in the 1993 general elections. Just for kicks, I applied to have my name restored. I checked their website again this morning and confirmed that my name was back on the register.

I just tried registering as an overseas voter and noticed that voting can only be accomplished in person at a designated polling station; in the US, these would be the consulates in New York CIty, Washington, DC and San Francisco. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend the time and money to travel from Minnesota to any one of these cities just to cast a vote.

One wonders why the Elections Department does not allow overseas voting by mail. Is this their way of making it as inconvenient as possible for overseas Singaporeans, whom one might argue are less likely to vote for the incumbents, to vote?

In any event, my name will probably get expunged again from the register for failing to vote in the next elections.

downloading...that's the thing...if hulu was available here you won't need to do that anymore for tv shows....and then there's justin.tv for live sports, you can throw your cable box and tv out of the window and stop giving mediacorp $110 to waste on crap!!!

ah....i'm thinking too much....

I think the overseas voting issue is more of logistics.

The pilot and seasons 1 and 2: the best thing to ever happen to TV sci-fi. Seriously.

Seasons 3 and 4: the producers of the series were secretly replaced with alien doppelgangers who turned the show into an unwatchable space-based soap opera which completely bombed in the second half of the final season. It actually became painful to see the series gradually degenerating into something that was a mere echo of its former glory.

I'd say you're better off watching Babylon 5.

Another possible option: allowing OS to cast their votes electronically?
