I just finished updating the WordPress installation powering this website to version 2.6.3. Sorry for the downtime. As you also might have noticed I have voice enabled the website using Odiogo; look for the “listen now” button in the articles. If you have a blog and would like to create a podcast out of your content Odiogo will take your RSS feed and convert it to audio using text-to-speech technology. The service is available to bloggers for free! You will however get a small Odiogo ad at the start. Odiogo also provides services to mainstream media.

What would the result be if the world could vote in the American presidential election going on today? A website has been set up where people from all across the world can go and vote for their favorite candidate. The result is sorted by country. So far 776042 votes has been recorded, and you should be the next one to cast your vote. Go to iftheworldcouldvote.com and choose your presidential candidate. I’ll let the winner (by a large margin) so far be a treat.;-)
