You have to love Civil Beat’s display of the 2012 poll results. So clean and simple with a clear view of the information.

The coverage of the Star Advertiser isn’t bad but relies on a slider to navigate between the various results.

At least the Star Advertiser removed that obnoxious advertisement they had in 2010.

About a third of the screen of the Star Advertiser site was advertisements! Meanwhile on Civil Beat, you could glance at poll results, headlines, and discussion in the same screen space. Much better!

While you’re at Civil Beat, be sure to read the grades given to local TV and newspaper coverage of the primary election. I wonder what grade Civil Beat would give its own election coverage?

I must say that I enjoyed Civil Beat’s live blog of the election, reading not like typical news articles, but instead, like… well, a blog. The pictures were fun, the tone was fun, and the insider perspectives from the various campaign headquarters added to the appeal. And geeks know this post was made for tabbed browsing!

While sort of off-topic, these Abercrombie & Schatz tees are a cool design inspired by the stylings of Abercrombie & Fitch. But, no, I don’t want to see Abercrombie and Schatz modeling in an Abercrombie & Fitch store.

Pictures from today’s Election Day with the victories of the tall and dark Barack Obama and Mufi Hannemann.

Tall and dark reminds me of the free coffee I got from Starbucks for voting.

Which also launched its Starbucks Gold membership described in this tall and dark pamphlet.

The Starbucks Holiday drink lineup is now available.

The reaction on television when Barack was named President-elect.

Finished the night with free ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s for all registered voters.

Congratulations to Barack and Mufi. Stop crying now people.
