New Orleans should be the Jazz, no doubt. - David Vasileff
indeed. from 1974 to 1979, the team was called the "new orleans jazz." they moved to utah in 1979 and have been the utah jazz ever since. the new orleans hornets started out as the charlotte hornets. they moved to new orleans in 2002. - eviltom
You sound like you're captioning my pictures... or, better yet, you sound like me, captioning my pictures :) - Ana
Until recently the Jazz were also still using the original NO colors for their uniform: purple, gold and green (Mardi Gras colors only a true New Orleanian would think look good together). I kind of like Bill Simmons idea that Utah and NO play for the name, although as a native I think they should just give it back to us since Utah and Jazz are just ridiculous together. But this brings up the question, if they gave it back, what would be the best alternative for Utah? Any suggestions? - Nathan Young

Best version yet! - Nathan Young
Where are the photos? - Paul Buchheit
Congratulations on the interview, Ana. I made sure to highlight your stumping for Obama in Scoble's Qik video from the other day, and Kristine enjoyed meeting you as well. - Louis Gray
Here is a version w/ photos: http://www.mercurynews.com/loc... You have to click on "2" under the photo of the Hillary supporters though. That said, it's not really worth it, since I look sort of strange. Must have caught me in a moment of naive, wide-eyed support :) - Ana

"Obama’s Nevada delegate victory was widely viewed at the time as a curiosity, an asterisk to Clinton’s win. But in February, as Obama amassed delegates despite losing big states, the shape of the race became clear: The name of the game was delegates." - Ana

What was the speed limit? - darren
that cop needs to be arrested! - eviltom
Nice job Ana. I used to get out of speeding tickets fairly often by politely asking for the most expensive non-moving violation ticket. I wouldn't often get the most expensive, usually something like a seat belt ticket. - Robert Konigsberg
In response to all the people giving me flack about how I must have flirted my way out of it, it's not true! The cop was female, and I admitted to driving too fast :) She was very nice about it all... even told me to not keep my car's title in the glove box. Now, I must go get that title before some FriendFeed user decides to steal my car! Then again, has anyone ever *seen* my car?... no one would want to steal that thing... - Ana
John: I don't think Ana even has Obama stickers on her car. Something about not wanting to tarnish his image by associating it with her driving style. :-) - Kevin Fox
I've gotten out of at least 3 speeding tickets, and I'm not at all cute like Ana. It helps to be honest and admit upfront that you were speeding when the cop walks up to your window. I think they're mainly looking to catch drunk drivers. - Thai Tran

"Clinton's apparent loss of the nomination was a consequence of her campaign's incompetence, but it was also a result of her reliance on the same-old. The shameless populism that seemed a possible game changer to media observers, micro-ideas like the gas-tax holiday, the willingness to go negative — which Obama tried intermittently, in halfhearted reaction to Clinton's attacks — appeared very old and clichéd to Obama's legion of young supporters, who were the real game changers in this year of extraordinary turnouts." - Ana
To sum up the article, Clinton thought being the obvious choice with lots of experience would be an asset. Turned out it was a deteriment, as voters really want change. They also underestimated their opponent and didn't react fast enough. In my mind, the way she managed her campaign is a fair predictor of how her presidency would be. - Jason Kaneshiro
Actually, I found the article a lot more interesting b/c of Joe Klein's analysis of how easy it is for everyone, including the media, to get wrapped up in what turns out to be “smart politics” instead of smart policy. I almost wish he’d gone on more about the “two minds” he had while listening to her campaign, and how the impression she gives when you watch her is very different from when you’re reading what she’s actually saying. This was definitely how I’ve felt since the couple of weeks leading up to the PA primary… that watching her, it’d be pretty easy to be swayed towards her candidacy. - Ana
Personally I think Obama's understanding of how to organize groups of people using the tools of the Internet were a very important component, as I describe at http://digitalpresidency.com - Ranjit Mathoda
=Ana, if only more of the press would be so introspective. It's interesting to listen to someone who seems to basically enjoy "the game", who is at least partially smiling and chucking when Hillary does her thing at the gas-pump. (I just want to throw something at the screen.) - ⓞnor
But let's not forget that the majority of the Rules and Bylaws Committee are Clinton supporters, which is to say the Michigan and Florida delegates could actually be successfully used to steal the nomination. (Dean et al are clearly open to this possibility.) There must be a good reason, after all, for Clinton's refusal to exit the race (beyond her "personality"). And it would be naive of us at this point to think that an election couldn't or wouldn't be stolen on account of popular support. - joneilortiz

Very nice link! I always watch his Youtube stuff, but I would like better quality, so this is great. - Trevor Manternach
He used to have this great Obama podcast that he'd update every week or so but it basically stopped once he threw his hat in the Presidential race. You can find some old ones in the iTunes directory as "U.S. Senator Barack Obama Podcast" - Jennie Lin

"After the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, Barack Obama leads Hillary Rodham Clinton in the popular vote by 850,000 votes, not counting the votes in Florida or Michigan and including projections from the caucuses. Mr. Obama has 16.3 million votes, compared to 15.5 million for Hillary Rodham If the results from Michigan and Florida are included? Mr. Obama still leads." - Ana

We saw him last Wednesday in Bloomington (from afar). He seemed on form, but I couldn't help but think of the time I invited my black friend home with me in college... and he looked at me like I was crazy and said that southern Indiana was not the kind of place he would go voluntarily. - Clare Dibble

Hey, shoulda thought of that before you stole away our Gmail engineers :P (On a less silly note, these lockdowns seem to be both very uncommon and also for pretty limited durations) - Adam Lasnik
i'm sure there was a good reason for your lockdown. perhaps your association with reverend wright? - eviltom
My first thought was Google identified her as a spammer. :) - Chris White

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I once wrote a scripting language on top of QuickBasic. - Mike Reynolds
A friend and I once set ourselves a challenge, over winter break, at my parents' house with no other software and no modem (but access to an x86 reference manual), to bootstrap a self-hosting compiler starting with QBASIC in two weeks. Unlike Ana, we failed. - ⓞnor
Didn't every CS (CE in my case) major have to do this in school? We made a very rudimentary one. - Benjamin Golub
I'm sure Ana generated a minimal perfect hash function for the language keywords at least... - Jim Norris
pure C or using lex&yacc (or bison)? - Amund Tveit
And when you say you "wrote a compiler," do you mean you coded it, or you hand-wrote it on sheets of paper? - eviltom
Maybe she just sent the compiler a letter. - Jim Norris
If you're an author trying to get your work included in an anthology you write a lot of compilers. And we know Ana's an aspiring writer. - Kevin Fox
