103 Delegates Today
Getting near the end - Oregon and Kentucky hold their primaries today. Looks like Clinton will win Kentucky (51 delegates). Obama will win Oregon (52 delegates). And Clinton will continue to smoke the high grade and think she can somehow win. I updated the election center and added a summary tab. The tab contains two charts: a pie chart showing current totals; and a bar chart showing how many delegates each candidate needs to win. Most telling is Clinton needs to win 72% of the remaining delegates to win.
Bridge Pattern Talk Files
Here is the swf - right-click to view source. And here’s the preso. The source has very little commenting and the preso doesn’t have any notes. But, it still might make sense. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Presentation is in OpenOffice. Here’s a PDF version as well.
Obama 92.6% There
It’s looking pretty tough for Hillary after yesterday. But, we still might have to wait until monkeys fly out of Paul Begala’s butt. Anyway, the election center is fairly updated (totals were this morning). Take a look.

Bridge Pattern
I’ll be giving a talk on the Bridge Pattern at the BFPUG Design Patterns Group(I really need to update that page) this Wednesday (May 7, 2008). As always, it’ll take place at Brightcove and will start at 7pm. And as always, we will get together for beers afterwards at Characters (which is located beneath Brightcove). Please stop by. These are really fun nights. Map here.
Somerville Open Studios
Rock the Casbah, by Scott Listfield
Off topic here, but Somerville Open Studios is this weekend. As a resident of Somerville, the most densely populated and highest artist per resident ratio-ed city outside of New York in the USA, I suggest everyone go to open studios this year. Over 300 artists at over 100 locations means there’s some art for everyone. Two places of note are:
- the Somerville Museum, which has selections from many of the artists
- My friend Scott Listfield’s work (shown above). If you like your art with references to Damien Hirst, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars, and Busta Rhymes, well, it would be hard to imagine you not liking Scott’s. Scott is showing with Jason Chase
forming an alliance known as Suburban Astronaut Studios. Map here.
Somerville Open Studios - Saturday May 2, Sunday May 3 - Noon to 6pm.

This thing’s cool. Nice to see the Globe making data visualizations. Although the Globe is owned by the Times, so maybe they’re behind it.
Also, I rarely post data viz links, to see tons more, go to the links page.
