Check out this projection map… AOL users polled. 🙂

elections getting in the way of work
or maybe I should say that my emotions over elections are getting in the way…
Apparently, the governor’s race in WA might be going to the republican Rossi instead of dem Gregoire (even though she’s just barely ahead in polls) due to good early voting turnout in rural areas. I think the fear is that people in Seattle and other cities won’t bother voting since the country will go for Obama with or without us, not realizing that their state’s governor is at risk, too.
[Edit] What the ? Check out this completely different account saying that Gregoire leads by a wider margin than polls indicated among early voters.
In California, prop 8 looks scary as hell, too. 🙁
Makes it rather hard to concentrate on work and these two papers I have due later this month.
Fallout 3 gets delivered to my door this afternoon, which surely can’t be good either…
Some states already have more early vote-by-mail turnout than their turnout in previous elections!
And… it seems to be coming from states with higher percentage of black voters!

iWeb and metadata and Tiffany Lee
I’m trying to help Tiffany get some web presence and we noticed that it is pretty much impossible to add metadata to an iWeb created site. Is that right?
site seems to be working okay
I switched to a new hosting plan with more bandwidth so hopefully this site won’t exceed its limit any time soon like it did a few days ago.
Also, all I did was ftp everything over and create/populate the wordpress database with a backup of my old one. I’m amazed it all seems to be working, but please let me know if you find any broken links or whatnot.
thanks!

Reading in Grad School
Check out Sean’s tips on graduate school level reading!
This is timely for new grad students, and, coincidentally, a couple of new students I know here at UW have mentioned the difficulty of reading on a grad level, so yay!
Of particular note, which I haven’t done but damn, that’s a good idea… is to make a simple database to keep track of papers read and their main points, etc.

Switching web hosting plans
This site might be down for a while some time this weekend as I move stuff over to a new hosting plan.
In other news, I found a torrent for the old, old 1993? game Darklands!
