I don't know how much to trust these rumors. It sucks to have this much attention on your child and having to prove that it is hers indeed. I wouldn't want to be in that position ever.
But whether she likes it or not, she is running for the second highest position in the nation. So some amount of scrutiny is expected. I wonder why she isn't forthcoming with the medical records to stop the rumor once for all?
On the other hand, if it is true that she waited for nearly 24 hours after her water broke to travel to her rural town to give birth fuels the rumors even more. Why didn't she get admitted in one of the Houston hospitals where facilities are better? Only God knows and he isn't going to come down and help anyone.

Way to go Obama! Way to go America
I got very emotional. I had tears running down my cheek both yesterday and today. "The promise of America" is nothing but best put about what I like about America. People often mistake what America stands for. It is not the culture or other things but it is the sprit and the foundation it is built upon.
But I am also very sad to see those taken away in recent times. I don't think the America can tolerate 4 more years of Bush policies nor does the World.
Vote for Obama, vote for the promise of America and vote for a better tomorrow.

I just don’t know about this Obama fellow
Original source: http://politicalirony.com/2008/08/24/i-just-dont-know-about-this-obama-fellow/
So you might ask if we should elect another idiot just because we already had made a mistake. The answer is Obama has a far better IQ than Mr.Bush and seems to think with his brain rather than with his guts or penis. Obama would be a much better choice compared to Mr.Bush IMHO.

Books of the month
I found some time to read 2 books in the last one month. Finding time is unusual when you have a full time Microsoft job and 2 very active kids. But I squeezed time here and there and I am glad I picked both of the following books.
No Tech Hacking
Really opened me up to the world of possibilities. Sure I knew about Social engineering attacks etc. But who knew social engineering field was this broad? The Author touches upon the wider world of physical security and its flaws as well. We often talk about how a chain is as strong as the weakest link. And we software folks often discuss only about securing software in terms of cyber attacks. But humans as always are the weakest links in any security chain and shows how armed with nothing, he could penetrate a network or gain access to where he shouldn't be. Good read.
2. Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better
This is a very quick to read and at the same time, will make you so productive. I have started applying some of the suggestions and ROI is as promised. This books is also available online at http://www.lifehackerbook.com/.
Enjoy!

Is it true about Obama?
All said and done, I still like Obama as opposed to any other candidate as he stands tall and high. Though it is all words at this point from Obama, I sincerely hope we would see a better president.
I saw this video on youtube which was really excellent. I wonder why real advertisements from Obama camp doesn't use things like this!?

Books of the Month
It was a bookful month for me.
In Search of Stupidity: Over Twenty Years of High Tech Marketing Disasters, Second Edition by Merrill R. (Rick) Chapman
It was an excellent, fun to read book. This book is also a good guide to understanding a bit of tech/computer industry and its evolution. What makes this book a must read is due to the fact that the author had worked for the companies he talks about in the book during those times.
The Extreme Future: The Top Trends That Will Reshape the World for the Next 5, 10, and 20 Years by James Canton
Either this book is way out of my league or not that great. The writing style and/or the way it was laid out was part of the issue. Some of the areas/ideas presented in the book was obvious and has been talked about quite extensively. For example, sites like http://www.futureforall.org/ talk about most of the areas that the author talks about. One of the things I found it interesting in the book was the author's predictions about the future. But then if you know about sites like http://www.longbets.org/, then it isn't that unique. If you some time to burn, pick this and read.
