Election prediction for Eric Zorn
Several weeks ago, Matt Gross asked for an election prediction. At the time, I called the popular vote 51.5% for Kerry to 47% for Bush, and gave Kerry an electoral college win of 289-249. (If you care to see how I got to 289, see here.) Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune wants us local…

PodCasting
Finally got around to giving podcasting a whirl, and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. The concept is simple: it’s TiVo for digital audio.

Red Sox Nation?
Al Nye suggests that with the inevitable happening, we may need to expand “Red Sox Nation” into “Red Sox Universe”. I like it. Go Sox.
