Joi Ito is talking about when I was on Capitol Hill, buying and selling election victories (and mainly defeats). I remember buying 100s of shares in the 1994 House of Representatives market in the Summer before law school, and then watching the polls shift from Likely Democratic (as it had been for 40 years) to GOP Victory.

There are still some links I need to work on, but it’s coming together. ]]>
Justoneminute has a report that borders on “What is CBS smoking?” The rage against Bush network received 6 documents regarding Bush’s service, but internally (apparently) judged 2 of the 6 as fakes.

Pictured above is Google, as it was in 1999. Now they have millions invested in servers and the whatnot, but back in 1999, this was it. Engadget.com has more details.]]>
