Hilarious spoof of coal industry website

The coal industry made this site:

and the NRDC made this elaborate parody:

Brilliant.

Radiant podcast interview

At my day job, Digital Pulp, we’ve been working with the Rails CMS framework Radiant. My colleague Josh French and I were recently interviewed by core Radiant developer Sean Cribbs for the first Radiant podcast. We talk about why and how we use Radiant, and how it compares to other CMS platforms.

You can listen to it here.

Committee for a Unified Independent Party appreciates Barack Obama

Quick note: I was pleased to find that the Committee for a Unified Independent Party is endorsing (see update below) Barack Obama, and running advertisements for him in North Carolina. I got a call from them asking me to support their campaign, and I obliged. How great that a “fringe” group such as this recognizes that Obama is a different kind of candidate.

I also noted on their website that they seem to be pretty critical of Nader, that he is not doing constructive things for the independent movement — I agree.

Update: John Opdycke from CUIP got in touch with me and clarified CUIPs relationship to the effort in North Carolina:

The Committee for a Unified Independent Party did not endorse Barack Obama, but rather is providing political and financial support to a longtime independent activist in North Carolina, Tyra Cohen, who has initiated an organizing effort entitled “North Carolina Independents for Obama.” Several of CUIP’s state affiliates have endorsed Obama; others have chosen not to make presidential endorsements but to focus on crucial political reform and base building efforts.
