Can you count on voting machines
By CLIVE THOMPSON, The New York Times Magazine, January 6, 2008
Jane Platten gestured, bleary-eyed, into the secure room filled with voting machines. It was 3 a.m. on Nov. 7, and she had been working for 22 hours straight. "I guess we've seen how technology can affect an election," she said. The electronic voting machines in Cleveland were causing trouble again.
Big up to Justin Marine of Mixerfriendly clothing for designing the new logo, which is a rendition of the Beat Street logo.

Push Raashan Ahmad
List Price: $12.98 Price: $11.99
Product Description "...this album is a return to basics, that good ol' boom bap, the beats and rhymes. I needed to get in touch with the other side of me, the side of me who loved Run DMC, BDP, and the 808 Machine. It was where I started as an MC and I needed to touch that again...This is a non-collaborative effort born out of my own fears, insecurities, observations, triumphs, and tragedies. It is therapy over beats" - Ahmad. "Mixing positive messages and live instrumentation, Raashan Ahmad brings forward thinking hip-hop to the masses" - Billboard.
