Does Markells Budget Mean He Isn’t a Progressive?
There was a lot of talk during the election by people on this blog and others about Jack Markell’s progressive street cred. He certainly convinced a lot of progressive Democrats that he would represent their interests. He also convinced a number of moderate Republicans that he would represent them, as they changed party registration to […]
Electronic Voter Fraud in Kentucky
I just came across this story in my travels. The story is about indictments in KY of election officials for changing electronic votes at the voting machine. Basically, the voters would cast their votes and press the “VOTE” button at the bottom of the ballot. Then they would walk out. The vote button actually was […]
Friday Job Bank
I had this idea that DL could help find jobs for people. So I’m hoping that if you have a friend (or yourself, Donviti) that needs a job, throw up a quick description of their skills. And if you see a person that fits your needs, let us know and we can connect you. I’ll […]
Homelessness is Hard
I have not given much of an update on the homeless man that I have been helping. This is more of a reflection of my laziness than a lack of things happening. Thanks to the Friendship House, he was able to get his birth certificate from New York. This took 2 months. Since then, we […]

The big news that came out of this meeting was that a final contract had been negotiated with Applied Energy to be the Contract Administrator. The CA is responsible for the actual work of the SEU.

Is Jim Cramer Crazy?

Celia Cohen: A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Delaware Way
One of the first businesses affected by the downturn in business was Celia Cohen’s Grapevine “blog.” Perhaps Celia had seen her 401K get large enough that she didn’t have to work any more. Who knows. But one thing is certain, she wants back into the game. We know Celia for the fawning, inside baseball, incumbent-lover […]
Busy Friday Morning?
I am planning on attending the SEU meeting on Friday morning. Who is with me? 9:00-10:30AM U of D Perkins Student Center Kirkwood Room They will be discussing the Fiscal Agent RFP and getting an update on the Contract Administrator negotiations. Plus it is fun to see who gets kicked out and who gets to […]
Taking Chance
My brother is a Marine. A few months ago he saw the previews for the HBO movie Taking Chance and shot out an email to the whole Geek clan to urge us to watch it. My wires got crossed at some point, so I didn’t get to see it on its first showing, as was […]
Liveblogging the Presidential Speech
While this is not the State of the Union, it is a pretty good approximation. We haven’t rolled out the liveblog application since the Inauguration, so come on over, pour some of your favorite libation, and chat us up.
Kowalko, Ramone and Peterson Victorious!
Approximately 100 people showed up at the City Council meeting in Newark to register their displeasure with the proposed disproportional water rate increase for non-resident city water customers. The bottom line of the whole affair is that the city relented in the opening moments of the meeting and made the rate increase a flat 15% […]
