270 to Win
http://www.270towin.com/ Electoral maps for every United States election. All of them. George Clinton won 50 electoral votes in 1792. I believe he was a member of the Hot Funk Party. (h/t to Daring Fireball for the link.)

News of the Day
Hey check this out. It seems that lava flows indicate that the Earth\’s magnetic fields occasionally reverse, which would have compasses worldwide pointing South. This is a geological \’occasional\’, though, which means the last time it happened was about 800,000 years ago (unless you\’re Sarah Palin, in which case the last time it happened was…

A third-party candidate we can all get behind…
Vote for Zod. And then kneel before him. I\’ve been waiting for his comeback ever since he got forced out of the Imperial Senate a long time ago (and in a galaxy far, far away). Hey, it was either that link or the one from the monkey researcher about how he knows McCain is afraid…

Nerd Party!
I\’ve been meaning to write more about politics and/or the election, but I\’ve come to the realization that even talking about the subject angries up my blood. Even today, I had a highly civil e-mail conversation with wadE where we mostly agreed on the subjects, and it still kinda hacked me off. So Have can…

Garfield Minus Garfield
I thought I\’d blogged about this before, but my quick search for the orange cat on this site didn\’t turn up anything, so I\’ll try to set that right this time. Anyway. I found an old article in the Washington Post this morning, that highlighted one of my newer internet finds: Garfield Minus Garfield. And…

The Life of an Old Nerd
So I\’m doing my daily browse of internet-land, trying to keep up with what\’s new, or at least relevant, in the Mac world, on the outside chance that I might someday have a job in the industry again. And I come across an update for an app called Sparkle. Cool little app – lets developers…

A little Friday video humor
Sure, it\’s not McBunny edging his chair right off the back of the stage while holding his tuba… but this is still pretty good. Keep an eye on the timpani player back-right, and if you don\’t immediately see what happened, well neither did I. I had to watch it twice before I saw it…

Pat Robertson. . . well, just watch.
So I was watching Morning Joe the other day, and… well, I found the clip on YouTube, so you can just watch for yourself. I do love how he knows the name of the man in Bolivia.

Name That Whale!
Honestly, I wouldn\’t have expected Greenpeace to be so hip to the tubes. They\’ve adopted a whale. They\’ve invited the internet to name it. Yes, typically that\’s what you\’d call a bad idea, but go easy on them – they did try so very hard. They took 11,000 submitted names and whittled the list down…
