Perfect: The idea is that you only get to watch the television when you work out. Because you are a couch potato. If you don’t work hard enough, the TV gets turned off. The heart rate monitor keeps a check on the heartbeat, and when there is any sign of slack, the TV volume is decreased 20%, and any further slacking will lead to punishment. This motivational device is priced at $39.95. This would be awesome for those fat guys who watch football. They won’t want to miss their game so they are quite motivated to work off that beer belly.

While not the Christian Science Monitor, the AP is pretty good about being unbiased. In this article it picks apart a few of the . . . well, what else to call them but lies, of the recent Palin Speech (which I thought was _very_ good.)

Amazing tool. Image: someone sends you a graph of crime in your neighborhood over the last month. But after looking at the graph you'd like to know how many crimes are on your street, or how many involve domestic disputes. Well, with Spotfire you'd be able to manipulate the graphs or plot to googleEarth to answer any of your questions -- self interactive data visualization as presentation medium. Nice!

This would be a very satisfying and cohesive theory for LOST. Hope this guy is right. And if not, maybe the show should hire this guy as a writer.

Interesting to read quotes on why super-delegates are supporting one side or the other -- or are uncommitted. Summary: Clinton supporters think Super-delegates are there to correct the political naivety of a popular vote. Obama supporters cite super-delegate obligation to echo the popular vote (which is easy to say when you have it). Uncommitted people seem to be waiting for the dust to settle.
