People who didn’t

vote yesterday must be feeling pretty stupid today. Especially Democrats. Especially Democrats in Florida. Whatever – it was quite a night, and it’s not over yet.

One of my favourite things

November 7, 2000 by Michael Boyle

in the world is to watch election results. I’m an election geek. I caught the bug early, and I’m sure it was enhanced living in Quebec and participating in referendums and elections about the very future of my adoptive home in Canada. Anyhow, the tracking polls were too close to call as recently as last night, which will make for extra fun viewing tonight. I know I’ll have to hold myself in control to keep from throwing things at my teevee – that’s part of the appeal.

And to my cousins down there in the US… VOTE!

editorial co-production between Feed and Wired News called the FEED Drugs Issue. A couple interesting things – first, it’s pretty cool to see two sites cooperating like this. Second, the design is interesting in that they lay out the whole section in advance, and will evidently make the article titles on the left hot as the week goes on.
