...and the winner is ... news.yahoo.com

As polls were closing across the US I was following presidential election results on the web and found out that the best site with the up to the minute detailed info was news.yahoo.com/elections/
CNN was only distant second.
The small sites like uselectionatlas.org and wikipedia were only third.
I also found out interesting site that monitors blogs on the web technorati.com. It gives up to the minute picture on what is hot and what is not.
The best prediction of the election outcome was at the strategisphere.com even so they got Ohio wrong.

Well done on a nice blog More l er. I was searching for information on astronomy lesson plans and came across your post ...and the winner is ... news.yahoo.com - not quite what I was looking for related to astronomy lesson plans but very interesting all the same!

Well, it's a new year - in fact it's almost the Chinese New Year. I'm still putting together astronomy lesson plans for the first and second semesters. This year the budget allows us to purchase a new telescope for the science group. That's great so we're still juggling the numbers how to get best bang for the buck! Not the 'big bang' you understand LOL. I'm coming down on the side of the Meade LX200GPS 12" Schmidt-Cassegrain. Let's wait and see.

If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Astronomy for Kids .

A happy new year to everyone!
