i just wanted to take the time to wish you guys i happy labor day weekend (of course i know we have lots of people from outside of the united states who don't celebrate labor day but of course you still have labor. :)). there are really only two things of value you can give to others: your love and your labor.
i'm going out to the beach today to slurp down some cold ones and roast a few tofu dogs. i also wanted to shamelessly plug of web site that i'm involved with: http://www.electoral-vote.com/ . it's a great site in my biased opinion. if you're like me and clinically obsessed with the outcome of this year's election, you can get a daily briefing of what the electoral college vote looks like. i wrote a perl script which generates an animated gif of the dynamics over time which gets posted daily to the site at http://www.electoral-vote.com/info/movie.gif . one of the things that i really wanted the movie to show is that the united states is not divided between blue and red states as sharply as the media hype tells us we are. it's a more dynamic process. its nice to know that many states are really weighing their options this year. it's a movie of the united states thinking and reasoning (i hope!). -matt -- PGP fingerprint 'A7C2 3C2F 8445 AD3C 135E F40B 242A 5984 ACBC 91D3' They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. --Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
