U.S. science and technology policy, future tense

2008 U.S. election cartogramFrom New Scientist, this article about what we're likely to see from the Obama administration. Also, this video, called "Blueprint for Change: Technology," which appears to be an edited version of the Candidates@Google event held November 14, 2007.

The latter is long, and less about science and technology than I would like, but these election maps created by Mark Newman won't take you much time to digest. I found them very heartening -- the great divide is not so great when looked at in these ways.

I think this will be my last post on the election -- see, I found this patch that helps ease the cravings for presidential/political news...it will probably work until at least mid-January. In the meantime, I'll just stick to reading The Onion. (Warning: As the movie ratings people say, they use language in their reporting.)

That map looks like someone drank too many Election Night cocktails!
