After a month of very long hours I decided to have an early weekend. I took tomorrow off and since Monday is Labor Day, this will be a four day weekend.
Today Obama held his acceptance speech for the Democratic Presidential Nominee. It can be viewed here under Video. It's an hour or so long speech in front of about 84000 people. And I have to say that it was pretty impressive. It's hard not to feel like this is a breath of fresh air. What's not hard is to be cynical, what's even less hard is to use cynicism as an excuse to not do anything. So far Obama has managed to convince, and yes maybe there will be change, even change for the better.
That is, if not too many listen to these people.

It's nice to read about how things are going in CA. Here in Scandinavia Finnkampen is going on, today and tomorrow, this year in Finland. And next Saturday I'm going to Sundsvall to watch MoDo-Brynäs in the SCA cup.
One of the things I miss here is the Swedish TV sports coverage. I wish I could have had SVT here during the Olympics.
"Staaatuuuuus qu-woohooooo!" :)
That's probably my favorite line in that clip
