Life has got in between me and the several interesting things that came up yesterday that I had planned to write about. By life, I mean the SCOTUS doings and, well, late night Harry Potter reading (Who is this half blood prince? I don't even have a good guess. Also, a point on which I am confused -- are Hermoine's mother and father both Muggles or is she 'half blood' herself? There seems to be some ambiguity on this.) As today will likely be a busy one, I'm going to simply run through a few of these things quickly. First, behold the power of the the Internets -- they raised more than $100,000 in one day for Paul Hackett, a candidate in Ohio's second congressional district. Second, and strangely concerning Ohio, Grow Ohio seems a remarkable new thing. Third, CivicSpace-based and free Gatheroo has emerged as an alternative to Meetup. Fourth, Bobby Fischer's randomized chess game with 960 possible opening boards that is gaining in chess-world acceptance. And finally, Ezra Klein has laid out some intial thinking on one potentially reasonable way of approaching the John Roberts nomination. (Also, fun fact -- if Roberts is confirmed, six of nine sitting justices will have passed through Harvard at some point.)
