The TPSC Elections Site

Praise be to the one who discovered caffeine, it's finally up. The media will be checking it out over the next few days and sometime between now and next week I have to add in the bits of feature creep Stephen's been pestering me about, but for now... it's done.

Of course, by "it" I'm referring to the TPSC's elections site, a.k.a. the thing that's been consuming almost as much of my time as Melanie lately. It's almost 5am now and I've just put it live.

It looks pretty slick though, and the scalability is awesome. We'll be adding in cool stuff like candidate questionnaire results and incumbent voting records very soon. I hope this is all worth it though. It's now up to our media people to drive eyeballs to the site. For now though, I'm going to bed.

If you have a few minutes, please check out the site and tell me what you think (please be kind). If you're living in Toronto, you should definitely check out your ward to see what your voting options are next month.

Lastly, a big thanks must go to Stephen Young for running this whole thing and to David Lewis for doing all the fabulous design work (and Google Maps.. very cool). I'd also like to commend all the researchers who poured themselves into the project, I do believe Stephen has some sort of thankyou in mind.

Alright, that's it. I'm going to bed.
