A Strange New Crop in Wisconsin

A strange new crop is being harvested in Wisconsin between Fond du lac and Milwaukee along Highway 41. Huge wind turbines are popping up in farmers’ fields with over 200 megawatts of installed base in the works. Wow!

Some people have a concern that the boundary of the 32,000 acre project area is too close to the Horicon Marsh Wildlife Refuge, a major stopping point along a key migratory bird flyway.

Decisions about new technologies and their effects on the natural environment usually include a lot of ambiguity and uncertainty. Perhaps the best approach is to proceed with caution? If you’re a migrating Canadian goose coming in for a landing at Horicon, proceeding with caution now goes without saying.

Product Bundling - Would you like some scrap metal with your nuts?

We can find examples of product bundling everywhere, from coffee shops selling music to candidates choosing running mates. The potential effects range from fabulous to disastrous from a customer’s point of view and how they decide to react to the bundle. Do they run towards the bundle or flee?

Here’s an example of one which apparently wasn’t well thought through. The aged condition of the sign tells the story.

Obama vs. Huckabee and the Winner Is…?

Since Iowan’s chose Obama and Huckabee I thought it would be interesting to run them off against each other with voters from Twitter and Reddit. Well…

The talley from the micro-survey is:

Obama - 93.5%
Huckabee - 6.5%

Obama wins.

Voter Confidence in Their Candidate

Of those voting for Obama, you gave him on average a 67% chance of getting the Democratic nomination.

Of those voting for Huckabee, you gave him a 40% chance of getting the Republican nomination.

Conclusions

  1. Obama kicks Huckabee’s butt with an internet election.
  2. Obama supporters feel more confident than Huckabee supporters with their respective candidates.
  3. Not alot of Evangelicals on Twitter? (Speculation Only)

Your thoughts???

You Decide between Obama and Huckabee

Iowa has “spoken”.

What if your choice was now limited to either Barack Obama or Mike Huckabee?

What would you decide?

Take this 2 question micro survey and “vote” for either Obama or Huckabee.
I’ll publish the results shortly

If you’ve already taken the survey, THANKS and check back for the results.
