Every election, I give everyone in my office the corny speech about how I grew up under martial law in a country where people couldn’t vote, how voting is a privilege, how every vote counts, yada, yada. Well, this is the first year where everyone on my staff is interested in the election. I think nearly everyone eligible to vote actually voted. We had a staff meeting at noon today and only people who voted (or who are not eligible to vote) got free pizza.
I polled my staff and asked them for their favorite election resources.
Here are our favorite sites for tracking the voting results.
AP has a live stream of stories, polls and election results
The Brit in our office prefers the BBC’s coverage of the election
While most in the office have blue tendencies, Real Clear Politics has a more red perspective on the election
Maki and I “voted” yesterday by buying coffee at 7-Eleven; check out their 7-Election; they claim their coffee drinkers correctly predicted the results of 2000 and 2004 elections
For some colorful comments on the election, go to Pundit Kitchen
Twitter is letting all Twitter subscriber post about their thoughts on the election
There is Twitter page where people are posting about their voter experience

I thought Barack Obama’s speech inspiring; but John McCaine’s concession speech was a class act.
In honor of Earth Day, I want to share a story about our recent office closing at Matrix Group, and how we tried to do it in the most sustainable, community-minded way possible. Closing our Arlington, VA office was a bittersweet milestone. After years of working fully remotely and knowing that remote work was here to stay for us, it didn’t...
On Monday, March 31st, Matrix Group said goodbye to our office on the 3rd floor of 2611 South Clark Street in Crystal City. We moved into this space in July 2019, a mere nine months before the pandemic began. This new office was light-filled, full of collaborative spaces, decorated with purple splashes and Star Wars toys, and full of the latest...
CEO Joanna Pineda and I have a running joke that whenever we see “delve” and “embark” used in the same paragraph (even better if it’s the same sentence) we wager a lot that AI was involved in the drafting.
