About the US presidential election. A lot of polls get published
showing how Bush and Kerry stack up in the popular vote, but it's the
electoral college that really matters. The Electoral Vote Predictor
tracks how the electoral college votes stack up based on the latest
state-wide polls. Current tally:
Update: the 'current tally' now shows the final result of the election.

Another nice Mars Rover shot: dunes.
MP3 blogs are blogs where people post 1 or a few recommeneded mp3s,
along with some discussion of the songs. They are nice because you
often get to hear stuff you normally wouldn't hear, the files are
decent quality, and there number of songs is not overwhelming. The two
I'm following are Music for
Robots and Moebius
Rex. Music for Robots has a mix of contributors coverring a range
of styles. Moebius Rex appears to be just one guy and he tends to
post a lot of electronic/house music but he'll dig up some unusual
stuff sometimes. He also posts pretty spectacular pictures of
grafitti.

One of the greatest professors who ever taught me
was Arthur Grosser from McGill's chemistry department. He wrote a book
about chemistry and cooking called The
Cookbook Decoder which is probably good.
