Meadville officials say their iVotronic touch-screen voting machines work perfectly, but the NYT thinks otherwise:
Given the concerns about the lack of a paper trail on the iVotronics, why [not] instead buy a machine that produces a paper record? Because Pennsylvania state law will not permit any machine that would theoretically make it possible to figure out how someone voted. . . As a result, nearly 40 percent of Pennsylvania’s counties bought iVotronics. . . Among election-machine observers, this provokes a shudder of anticipation. If the presidential vote is close, it could well come down to a recount in Pennsylvania. And a recount could uncover thousands of votes recorded on machines that displayed aberrant behavior — with no paper trail. Would the public accept it? Would the candidates? As Candice Hoke, the head of Ohio’s Center for Election Integrity, puts it: “If it was Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, everyone is saying it’s going to be Pennsylvania in 2008.”

What's a guy got to do to get some bike boxes downtown?
Yes. I am a library nerd.
So is this guy.
What helps to create a scene?
Newsgator's incredible RSS suite is now free.
Although I don't do the whole bittorrent thing, this one is pretty tempting:

Justin from Belsapadore here...thanks for the library articles. I'm studying library science at Clarion right now and I loved the articles...
You are being silly about the book thing. When I am interested in buying a book, the first place i think to look is the bookbindery. Who wants to deal with all of those people touching your book? I want it straight off the press before the glue dries.
All the cool kids are in library school these days! (Full disclosure, my wife's a 2005 Clarion MLS alum).
Chris - I think you're right. I visualize a Krispy Kreme style neon light that would be lit when the books were hot off the presses and lines of bookworks stretching around the corner, hearts racing in anticipation.
