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.

BRTD was interviewed already.

[Torie]

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

[Eraserhead]

Wow, I don't have any input but that's pretty awesome.

What redistricting softwear? Seriously the WSJ is interviewing characters from an internet forum?  Why?

This all sounds ridiculous to me.

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

Hopefully they get a chance to interview BushOK as well!

It's writer Danny Yadron, who is writing about redistricting software and is interviewing some of us about how online communities are using the software.

He contacted me but I was late to get back to him because of my Christmas travels and such; I hope I can still be interviewed.

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.

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? For entertainment purposes, I sure hope not!

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.

The world is on its ear when nobodies are being interviewed for venting their spleens on free forums.  I wish this upending would come to academia.
