We’re very excited to bring our users a new sports section.
Msnbc.com and NBC Sports have partnered to create the new NBCSports.com. It can still be found by clicking on "Sports" in the left-hand navigation of msnbc.com, but once you do, you'll find a redesigned section that builds on the quality you're accustomed to.

About a week and a half ago we published an investigative
report on bridge inspections. I was part of the team that worked on the related
Bridge Tracker, an interactive map tied to a database that provides specific information on bridges that you would cross along any given route within the continental U.S. For you geeks out there, we had a proxy specially built to pass info from Virtual Earth to MapPoint, which contained a bridge database that we got from the government through a FOIA request. And yes, it’s all harder than it sounds.

There are plenty of ways you might find out about breaking news: you might happen to visit a
website just as something is happening, you might be watching TV or listening to the radio, maybe you get a call or instant message or email from a friend, or find out through our breaking news
RSS feed or
Windows Live Alerts, or hear about it from us or another person on Twitter (have I mentioned we have
several accounts on various topics on Twitter?). I found out about 9/11 from eavesdropping on a phone conversation while waiting in line for coffee. Like I said, plenty of ways.

I'm hyped about the election process. Seriously hyped. If you asked my family, my girlfriend, my friends, my imaginary friends, and my pet goldfish, they'd tell you that I talk about it pretty much every day and they're ready for me to shut up about it already. Much to the dismay of all the aforementioned people, I have found myself thrust into a project here that has only fueled my polit-intoxication:
politics widgets that you can embed on your blog, your Facebook account, or any other website for that matter.
