Those American Elections


Let me put first that I don't really care who is going to win the elections tomorrow in the US of A, as long as it isn't Bush. I was watching this neat map now and then, just for the fun of it [although the amount of red is a bit worrying], but now it's become known that the former anonymous Votemaster is Andy Tanenbaum, one of my professors, and a famous CS writer [those books are full of info, but he manages to keep them readable to the point of enjoyable; thumbs up for that]. Read more about this on his Votemaster FAQ.

I didn't expect him to run such a [quite] high profile political website, but it fits him quite well, knowing his strong views and such. Maybe I shouldn't aspire doing my Master thesis in his research group ;)
