It’s been too long since I’ve done one of these features, but I had figured that you would have HamNation on speed-download by now. However, in case you don’t, mash away for a wicked-good sendup of both “The Office” and Hill’s campaign headquarters.
No Runny Eggs
The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

James T. Harris breaks the news that one Kyla Ebbert, previously known for revealing travel attire, completed the striptease for Hugh Heffner’s cameras.
The AoS crowd are probably rushing to their bunks.

New poll – What will the price of gas be at the end of the year?
While the cost of gasoline has started to move in response to this latest spike in the cost of oil, I have a fear that we haven’t seen anything yet. After all, the $90-$100/barrel oil has yet to enter the pipeline. Therefore, I’ve got a new poll up…
What will the average price of regular unleaded gas be in the Milwaukee area at the end of 2007?

Cover It Live – the day-after replay
In case you were smart enough to avoid yesterday’s Dhimm debate in what was left of Vegas after the Uncle Jimbo Huns laid waste to Sin City last week, you may or may not know that I tried out a new piece of software from Cover It Live to live-blog it. It is a very interesting piece of work that allows the live-blog to be an interactive, non-refresh event.
First, the good:
– The creator interface is pretty much intuitive. What I like is not only are there buttons to create effects (with the standard CTRL-key combos working in the write window), but at least some standard HTML works (didn’t explore that beyond <a> and <i>)
– It works as advertised; no refreshing was required.
– For the most part, it was quick as greased lightning.
– Judging by the size of the iframe on my blog, it looks like the modern Windows standard of 800×600 resolution doesn’t require scrolling outside of the CoverItLive iframe.
Now, the not-so-good:
– There are a couple of items that are a bit daunting for the first-time user (playing audio and somewhat-limited polling chief among them)
– No edit-after-the-fact function (I’m only a fair typist)
A couple of requests:
– Allow the users to add their URL, like they do in the blog comments section.
– Allow the ability to edit “after the fact”.
– I didn’t notice an option to have the poll results display absoulte numbers rather than percentages; I’d like that.
Overall, it is a great way to live-blog.
