Late Post from Portland, Bomb Threat all Safe

Well, I rarely do a 5:00 on Friday post but we’re all safe up here in Portland after a backpack turned into a major bomb scare at the Federal Courthouse nearby and so I’m playing around on the NYTimes site.

The post is to show a NYTimes Tweet analysis of candidates leading up to the election.  In their latest interactive feature, watch as electrons (tweets) bomb in and out off the candidate nucleus.  It’s a fascinating dance of information.

I typed in Harry Reid and Sharron Angle – they were a buzz of activity.  But LePage and Mitchell are interesting too.  Interesting, but I can’t see how they’re remotely useful.

Anyways, have a happy pre-election weekend.
