Random House has
Random House has taken the lead on e-book royalties by splitting them 50-50 with authors. I’m glad to see someone trying to work this out in a way that everyone can like.
People who didn’t
vote yesterday must be feeling pretty stupid today. Especially Democrats. Especially Democrats in Florida. Whatever – it was quite a night, and it’s not over yet. But this morning I feel a lot better than last night at 3am when I went to bed thinking Bush had won. Cause I think Bush is a radical conservative with little to no qualifications to be President.
One of my favourite things
in the world is to watch election results. I’m an election geek. I caught the bug early, and I’m sure it was enhanced living in Quebec and participating in referendums and elections about the very future of my adoptive home in Canada. Anyhow, the tracking polls were too close to call as recently as last night, which will make for extra fun viewing tonight. I know I’ll have to hold myself in control to keep from throwing things at my teevee – that’s part of the appeal.
And to my cousins down there in the US… VOTE!

Is anyone doing what Sonic Youth did, and still does? [Note that ‘song of the day’ doesn’t mean I’m going to do this all the time. But I might]
