"Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget!" - Joe Biden('s father)
Why I’m Here
Hey, I'm Shelby Highsmith, and I'm your Georgia correspondent and resident rocket scientist. (That's a lie. I got a C in rocket science and have been working in air-breathing turbine engines ever since; but "rocket scientist" sounds so much better than "metalhead" or "crack addict.") So when I'm not covering the election, I'll be shedding some light on science and engineering news and how it affects the future of our country.

I was around when MTV killed the radio star. Unfortunately the radio star came back, on AM frequencies, and it's a bunch of reactionary gas-bags promulgating propaganda. It's time for video to make a comeback! I will keep you up to date on political issues in Georgia and all the sci-tech geekery you could ask for.

Atlanta celebrated Cinco de Mayo a day early with Fiesta Atlanta in downtown's Centennial Olympic Park. There was a wide range of Latino culture to be consumed, both literally and figuratively, in sights, sounds, goods and food.
