Determined to vote 10:17am on 23 Oct 2008 Don't forget that in America we don't vote for a candidate. We cast our vote for electors for a particular candidate. This is how a candidate can lose the popular vote and still become president. This is not very democratic - in fact it was a system implemented so the elite could keep a check on the masses and keep the riff raff out of the White House. It harks back to the Prince Electors of the Holy Roman whose role was to 'elect' the new emperor. It kinda reminds me of the Bush dynasty.

Check out this blog post to see pictures of an absentee ballot from New Jersey.

Following The Box 09:24am on 10 Sep 2008 I also second Animanima's comment about RSS. This would make it much more convenient to follow.
Following The Box 09:22am on 10 Sep 2008 It would be very useful if you could draw a red line on the map to show exactly where the container has been. At the moment it is only possible to see where it is, not how it got there. I know you are going to pinpoint key location as it progresses, but it would be interesting to see how it gets to those key locations.

Also can you provide the GPS coordinates so we can pop those into other online maps like Google Maps or MultiMaps so we can see a satellite view of the containers location?

I think the implementation of these options would make following this project even more interesting.

Many thanks
