The future of televison

This should be the future of television. The New York Times put together a project that is phenomenal. They transcribed the Sept. 26 democratic debate. Not only it is transcribed, but the words are in sync with video....wait, let me just make a list.

• click on topics such as gay rights and illegal immigration and you are automatically forwarded to those topics of discussion.
• Word counts - see which democratic candidate said the most words
• Speaking time - see which candidate took up the most time speaking
• Word or phrase search - enter a word or phrase and see which candidate said the word, how many times they used it, and how they used it.
  

Now, they need to figure out a way for TiVo to do this.

UPDATE: The republican debate has been added. Same idea, different people.

A goldmine of humor

Ah, the internet. What wonderful things we find. It can shock us, make us cry, sadden us and, most important, make us laugh. I have stumbled onto a goldmine of humor - enter Wikiality. This spoof of Wikipedia was born from Comedy Central's Colbert Report. What a wonderful site it is.
Just to get the ball rolling, check out these links: Conservatives, Liberals, American, George W. Bush.
Warning: These are not for those easily offended.
