It's possible mathematicians have way too much free time on their hands.

An interesting idea: screengrab web sites the night of the election to provide almost an Internet time-lapse of the election results.

Let's see: No call timers. No scripts. Free shipping and ridiculously awesome representatives that are chosen for their personalities and attitude rather than just because they have a good resume. What a radical idea. This is customer service instead of customer avoidance.

Sweet cartograms of the election breakdown, even by county. Interesting from an understanding the EC standpoint.

The first priced DLC for Burnout Paradise. Interesting idea, awesome UI changes to reflect the new theme when you're in Party Mode, and I'm curious about the new main menu item labeled "Burnout Store".

Not to brag too much, but the kind of attitude Seth Godin is describing that should be prevalent in sales is exactly how I was able to become one of the top sales people in a region when I worked retail. The "Miracle on 34th Street" effect is a real thing.

This is an amazing idea. Delivering daily reading plans via podcast audio is one of the cooler services I've seen. Hats off to Stephen and the Crossway web team for making this happen.

You May Now Debate Intensely
I’ve just managed to switch my commenting system from the standard WordPress system to IntenseDebate as a little bit of a testing platform. It’s a very interesting idea—and one also shared by Disqus, which is a system I looked at for a while and never implemented—for standardizing comments and helping blogs to network together even while on different hosts.
I’m interested to see how it works, but you can already see it in action here. Please feel free to leave a comment on the post of your choosing to both experience it for yourself and assist me in taking a look and seeing how it works from the admin side.
If all goes well, I plan on recommending IntenseDebate to anyone I know and/or assist with a WordPress self-hosted blog.
