Today I went to the dentist for the first of two “deep cleaning” procedures. Yeah, it’s been a while, I don’t floss regularly like I should and now my jaw feels like a mini battlefield of blood and bruises.
Still, the whole process wasn’t all that bad. Granted, getting a shot of anesthetic into your gums [...]
I’ll be liveblogging the 2008 presidential primaries for Super Duper Fat Tuesday via Twitter. You can follow me at the account illinoizeyoshi, or use the RSS feed here. I’ll also have the last 20 updates embedded below.
I’ll be reposting this liveblog Twitter feed over at Illinoize as well throughout the evening. It’ll be random [...]
Not that the comparison above between Republican and Democratic donors from Chicago is any surprise, but the Huffington Post has a nice Google Maps mashup that geographically charts presidential campaign contributions.
Found any other nifty charts, graphs, maps, interactive Flash apps, etc. that deals with the primaries tomorrow? Put them in the comments, I’d love [...]
Ever since I read a friend’s Facebook note that Barack Obama’s servers were crushed by the power of hope, I wondered how his traffic levels compared to Hillary Clinton’s.

Mike Flannery’s report on how Gov. Rod Blagojevich goes to Blackhawks games instead of being present in Springfield for mass-transit funding legislative action has gathered quite a bit of attention.

(Scroll for updates – it just hit the Drudge Report, so you know this is going to blow up big time.)
I just got done watching the CNN / YouTube debate between the Republicans, looking to see how much different it would be than the Democratic equivalent a few months ago. Frankly, I don’t really care [...]
Undoubtedly, by now you’ve heard of the “Obamagirl” video, and there’s been quite a bit of media hype surrounding it.
In case you haven’t, check it out, but then keep reading as it ties into a few points I’ve been wanting to make about social networks, politics and now an interesting essay on the emergence [...]
It’s been a while since I last updated, but there’s a good reason for that. Rather, several good reasons.
1.) I’m spending most of my free time job hunting, i.e.: writing cover letters and perfecting the perfect clip portfolio.
