    A guide to the names of different generations. Generation X etc. (via Kottke)

  3. The FactCheck Blog - FactCheck: How does the world rank FPTP vs AV?

    First Past The Post is mainly used by ex-British colonies. “What does seem worth noting however is that not one European country, apart from the UK, uses FPTP.” (via @JamesWallis)
