Picked this up via Jason Calconis' Posterous site and liked it so much I had to have my own copy. I have no idea who produced the original.

Update: A simple google search helped me find the original source here or here (still not certain of the original source)
Message to the class of 2009
First of all, I wanted to thank coach Baker and Mr. Sakal for the opportunity to speak today. I think it is a thoughtful courtesy and appreciate the opportunity. I'm speaking for all of us who have played a part in coaching your team: Becky Pappas, Robbie Clemmons, Bob Markowitz, Mike Watercutter, David Sawka, Becky Pappas and John Weber, Sandy, Ryan, the EPL trainers, and the UD assistant coaches.
where I work.
I'm a centrist by nature. I don't care for the extremes that exist in both parties. Obama has been characterized as both very liberal and a centrist. I'm inclined to agree with the former after reviewing his voting record - but he's definitely reaching out to the middle. McCain is definitely a centrist based on his voting record - but not as a candidate for President.
So I have had a dilemma. Who do I vote for - the centrist candidate or the centrist senator. Larry Lessig contributed towards my decision.

The theme will be "Dance to the Music," and was selected by Becky Pappas, the 2009 Strawberry Festival general chairwoman.

The festival theme represents Pappas' involvement in dance and music. She has danced for more than 13 years with Tammy's School of Dance and assists in teaching dance. Pappas also has been involved with many local organizations. She has been the chairperson of the Festival of Nations for 11 years, president of the Troy High School Soccer parents organization, president of the Troy Soccer Club for five years, board member of Teen Leadership Troy, Chairperson of registration for the Troy Soccer Tournament and a Strawberry Festival representative for the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce.
kottke has a salute to Alec Baldwin. He references several films, but for my money The Departed is the best. This is my favorite scene and I swear (but don't know) it was improvised.
Back in February of this year I posted that I was going to try to rationalize my online presence. It's been a struggle as I experiment with a variety of tools. That's not likely to change - but I have made some progress this evening. I've spent the last two hours importing (i.e. cutting and pasting) all of my content from my old Movabletype site to this Drupal powered site. It's amazing how bare the MT export format truly is.
I have received more calls over the past several weeks from 'placement firms' then I have received in the past five years. Several agencies are looking to place me and several are looking to place individuals where I am employed.
Now - I am not looking to switch employers and I do not have hiring authority with my employer. These are not fruitful conversations for anyone involved. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on.
