Vote Early, Vote Often

Those who know me well know that I’m actively involved in my wife’s campaign for County Supervisor here in Sonoma County, California. So you might say that voting is dear to my heart. I want people to get out and exercise their right to have a say.

Although that election is still a ways off, and you likely can’t vote in it anyway, there is something else you can vote for, and now. In fact, you only have a couple more days (voting closes October 27th) to vote on which “apps” should be developed to improve the SciVerse platform. As one of the judges, I helped to winnow down the entries to the ten best. Now it’s your turn. Tell SciVerse which app you want to see developed.

As you should know by now, elections are decided by those who show up.
