New at latimes.com: Electoral vote map
Now that the primary season is over and the general election campaign is heating up, it's time to introduce a fun little electoral vote map built by my colleague, Sean Connelley. What's unique about this one is that you can create your own scenario here and then grab some code to embed it in your website, like so:
The audacity of meme
Whether or not you believe Barack Obama is Mr. Wonderful, this percolating politics meme is kind of a hoot: Jason Kottke is aggregating tweets that start with "When Obama wins"...
What anger looks like
I'm not an angry journalist, but it's hard not to be drawn to the alternately sad/funny/heartless/clueless screeds at AngryJournalist.com. Seeking some aggregate wisdom from the 2,794 comments posted to date, I captured all the venom and slammed it through TagCrowd (omitting various forms of the words "angry" and "journalist"). The result (click a tag to see where it appears in comments):
Glad to know the web doesn't figure as large in people's anger as I might have guessed, but I'm not encouraged by the relative sizes of love and hate.
Update (2008.04.02): There aren't enough posts at HappyJournalist.com to turn out a good cloud. C'mon, people!
Where I'll be later this month
I'm looking forward to attending the Journalism 3G symposium on computation and journalism at Georgia Tech Feb. 22-23. If you're a news geek, I can't imagine a better place to be. If you're going, ping me.
The Globe jumps the gun
For sale on Amazon.com: 19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots, by The Boston Globe.
Guessing the Giants might quibble with that title.
