Dave's Redistricting software; I am going to be interviewed by the WSJ

[Torie]

I am going to be interviewed by the Wall Street Journal tomorrow about Dave's redistricting software. If any of you have any input about it that you want to share with me, feel free to, and I might pass it along. Thanks.

I will post this on the Demographics board as well.

Yes, a few have already I have now found out. It should be interesting. I will give a report.

But it's not Dave Leip's software.......ftr

Yes, I know. Yadron has not called me back yet. It may be that the ship has left the dock. We shall see. I think I would be a fun interview though I suspect for him. I am kind of a fun guy these days - well at least colorful.

here's to hoping the forum isn't mentioned in the article.

Afraid the world will know about your Pence obsession?  

no, just afraid more people like yourself will show up and I'll have to explain everything under the moon to them, too  

You don't want any new blood eh, jmfcst. This place should remain more like an exclusive club I take it?

Since my main mission in life is to corrupt the youth, I kind of look forward to it myself.

He said he was looking for a character he could use as a focus for the story. I can imagine BRTD gave him that in spades.

Yes, nobody can compete with BRTD in that department I admit. But I ain't chopped liver!

So was Zach able to restrain himself in terms of talking about opebo and railing against the suburbs?

Believe it or not, yes. I did talk about video games though (in relation to how the app has taken up time I often spent on playing them.)

Excellent analogy. That is exactly what it is, and I was going to mention that myself.  The kick however is that it sort of for real, and if you are an aggressive little SOB like I am, when armed, I then fire away, and hit folks up.

So did the interview actually happen, Torie?

Nope. The guy is clearly on vacation, and he has not published his article yet, so he might get back to me. I did send him another email, to try to peak his interest. I do have my little agenda. I always do. I am a very goal oriented person. One thing I want to chat with him about is what I think the impact of the Torie's of this world getting involved might have. We shall see, and of course, I will let you all know what happens, if it happens.

Tell him you want him to include a picture of your new ripped body in the article......

Great idea!
