Amazon Amapedia
Amazon has taken it’s product wiki-esque concepts and created a single site, Amapedia, to host it. Another smart amazon idea.

The Fact Hub - Election info from Clinton Campaign
I have to say that this site turns my stomach a bit. Yes, it’s disclosed that it’s paid for by the Clinton campaign, but it has a certain… smear? feel to it. Blech.

… and concerning the Clinton site:
Always around preseidential election season (which has immeasurably surpassed Christmas as the most commercialized event of all time) I begin to wish that each state in the grand ol’ US was it’s own country. Sure, Lincoln wanted to preserve this union, but in his day the union was an unrecognizeable relic compared to the sheer numbers we have today. Is the US a community that can be effectively managed by one adminstration?

Concerning the gay humor:
Am I correct that the online gaming demographic is predominantly male, possibly 12-30? Having witnessed face-to-face encounters amongst middle- and high-school males, gay “humor” (using the term loosely, because it’s usually not funny nor intended to be) is rampant. Perhaps this is a subculture’s revolt to a perceived threat of gay tolerance becoming an issue increasingly visible in society at large? Unless managed correctly, conflict brings out the worst in people.
