Well, it’s after the elections, and I thought I might as well get a new logo (okay it’s technically a header image, but I’m just gonna call it logo).
This is roughly (barring a few cosmetic changes here and there to previous logos) the fifth logo that The Daily Background has had in its lifetime, which […]
Haha, this is too funny. One of the most prominent conservative bloggers, Jeff Goldstein (who Atrios loves to hate) linked to my Sunday edition of Smart Bloggers and blog readers know that…” Well, okay, it was one of his guest bloggers that linked to me, but still. He has about the 330th most popular blog […]
Hey, I just wanted to take a moment to direct your attention to a new section of the website: thedailybackground.com/commentary. You can expect lengthier commentary there on a semi-regular basis.
I’ll post an excerpt and a link to each item as it’s posted, but you can check it out now anyways, there’s a few things up […]
I’m out till 9pm central. ish. Updates on what a dem controlled house will look like coming around then… and some stuff on the new secdef nominee…
I’ll be back around 5:30 central, with updates…
Unless something extraordinary but not election-related happens, I think 100% of tomorrow’s coverage will be devoted to the midterm elections. So today I’m going to try and publish a good deal of stuff that has little or nothing to do with the elections, to get it out of my system and clean out my Firefox […]
FYI, I’ve got some friends visiting from out of town, so posting today will be a little bit light. Back to normal tomorrow though.
As promised recently, I have added a new site feature at the top of the page which allows you to see my House and Senate predictions for the November 7th elections.
To view them (from any page on the website), just click the black “2006 Senate Predictions” and “2006 House Predictions” linnks at the top of […]
Last night I spent about 4 solid hours working on a new feature for the site. It’s not quite ready to be rolled out yet, but I just have to mention it since it’s gonna be so cool. It’s basically gonna embed 2006 House and Senate election predictions into every page of this website (I […]
I want to apologize real quick because last night at approximately 2:10 Eastern time (I’m on central) and lasted about twenty minutes, this website crashed for an unknown reason. I think my host was just rearranging stuff or something like that, so it’s nothing to be concerned about (I’m no where near important enough for […]
I just want to clarify two things. Firstly, if you hear me referring to “the Post,” I am talking about the Washington Post– not the scummy rightward leaning tabloid “newspaper” known as the New York Post. Jusssst wanted to clear that up in case there was any doubt.
Secondly, a few posts were published earlier this […]
There’s a great technology out there for bloggers and blog readers alike. It’s been gaining in popularity for some time now, and it helps us keep up with the news and our favorite websites (blogs, etc) without having to constantly hit refresh pages. In fact, you’ve probably already heard of it (although it’s possible that […]
Hey everybody, I wanted to just let you know that I’ve added a new feature to the site: the Digg button. Digg.com is a free online community where people can share cool stuff that they find on the internet. You can sign up for free here if you haven’t already, and “digg” stuff you find […]
Today I’ll be posting several videos, many of them news reports from five years ago today (BBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX). I’ve already prepared them and I think they’re rather emotionally draining. I don’t know at what point it’s worth watching them anymore. Later tonight I’ll have two very simple but touching videos of Jon […]
