Watch. Love.

I created a disclosure policy page after reading this post by Wes Fryer, who is clearly both more on top of these things than I am and more knowledgeable about the quickest place to go to create your own policy in two minutes. Long story short, new FCC mandates want bloggers to explain what kinds of money they might accept and why. Figured I’d do it now before it languishes on my to-do list.

Google just keeps the hits on coming.  They were nice enough to provide an embeddable electoral map, so I can watch results in real time!

I got a Flip video camera a couple months back on a great deal, but didn’t have much immediate use for it.  The other day, however, I saw that PBS and YouTube were sponsoring VideoYourVote.  I like the map-based search function on it in particular.  I decided this morning to take the Flip with me and record my experience.  It’s not particularly dramatic.  I didn’t get intimidated and the machines seemed to work fine.  But it gave me a chance to record an important moment and play around with a new toy and the newer iMovie a bit, so I’m glad I did.
