The Democratic And Republican National Convention Speeches, As Seen Through Wordle (10)
permalinkIt's all over: Years of planning, hours of speech-writing, millions spent on creating the venues to host thousands of Democratic and Republican convention attendees. What remains are the words that the politicians spoke (or didn't,) and the promises they made. To re-cap those words, we thought we'd create a Wordle gallery of the most notable candidates', spouses', and supporters' speeches. Wordle is an online application created by IBM's senior software engineer Jonathan Feinberg.

It's easy to install a new hard drive in your desktop computer, but laptops can be a whole other ball of wax, because the drive is usually wedged deep into the notebook's innards and it takes a lot more elbow grease to swap out.

Similar to what the Velvet Underground did on The Velvet Underground and Nico in 1967, and Television on Marquee Moon in 1977, Daydream Nation achieves the kind of musical trifecta that so perfectly suits a band hailing from New York City, in which ...Shared by Gabe (14)
