Photos of Greensburg

10246

I’m quite glad I took as many photos as I did of Greensburg after the tornado. They’re slowly filtering off of the internet and into television shows, books and other media.

  • Weather Channel production (When Weather Changed History (“Green Town”)
  • Many other places…. Just look around the web and see if they seem familiar

Watching the election

I view all the polls and election results by consulting this site. I also have a status bar indicator of the current electoral vote for firefox. I trust the tally from renouned computer scientist, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, who runs the site and puts together the polls into a nice map.

Here’s the Tanenbaum image (live, changes without my help):
