I rarely post about politics, but something intriguing on the campaign front caught my eye today. A presidential candidate is advertising in Burnout Revenge. For those unfamiliar, Burnout Revenge is a car-racing video game owned by Electronic Arts.
I hope one of them gets it.

Friday blurbs
I loaded custom firmware on my PSP today, much to my own technical dismay. I tried using Gizmodo’s method, but it was complete crap. I delved into the web and found other means. The PSP is easily the most useless of my portable devices. Besides Skype, I really don’t use it for much else. I’m going to try and download some interesting apps tomorrow. Probably nothing as cool as the iPhone though.
I read an interesting article over at ReadWriteWeb yesterday about the release of Moveable Type 4.2. Very cool information about combining social networks with the blogging platform. The Action Streams are a self hosted version of Friendfeed or, to a lesser extent, Twitter. BuddyPress also looks interesting but it’s still in development.
There is a lovely article about Twitter etiquette over at The Morning News. I totally agree with the first rule. I’ve been blocking Twitter spammers since the start. Zero followers is better than 100 spammer followers.
