Dan called my attention to the fact that Westhoff.Net was recently hacked. The hacker, identifying himself as iSKORPiTX ("Turkish Hacker") was kind and did not do any irreversible damage--he simply replaced the index page (the page you're reading now) with this. It's a milestone really, Westhoff.net has been hacked. It was...inevitable I suppose. I've got to figure out this security thing.

I've disabled comments on Westhoff.Net for the time being on accounta' excessive spam postings. Read more about the problem here and here. I'm still working on deleting all of the old spam.

Hello all, I'm coming to you from Washington Westhoff campaign headquarters (i.e. my couch). I anticipate sitting here all day watching the talking heads while I surf the (wireless) web for real-time fact checking. I hope all of my friends/family in "swing" states are getting out the vote today. Ray and I voted by absentee ballot a week or two ago. Viva democracy, eh!
