A few months ago on a lark I signed up for TiVo Rewards, a referral program that lets you get credit for your friends signing up for TiVo. I posted a few times on the blog about it, and sure enough, a few of you actually listed me as your referral. Result? Last night, I…

DuPage results are coming in. With 100% of precincts reporting, Tom Weisner has 47% of the vote, and Richard Irvin has 34% of the vote.

Style.org is the work of 13pt, where Jonathan Corum…
