The Virtual March's antiwar room is mesmerizing.

I was disappointed to notice there only seems to be one message popping up for Oregon.

. o O ( "You can't not fight in here! This is the anti-war room!" )

Heh.

For a given state they keep popping up the same message for a while, and then they switch to another one. (I just checked, there are at least two for Oregon.) I'm not sure what, if anything, this represents; probably they just picked out a few messages from each state and are cycling through them slowly. Likewise, I suspect the 'Registered Calls' counter is simply counting fast enough to hit the registered number by 6 PM.

So in the end it's just a screen saver, not the interactive headquarters it pretends to be. But it's still kind of fascinating.

This is totally unrelated to anything, but your picture bears a striking resemblance to the Two Against Nature album cover by Steely Dan.

I've had that CD cover sitting next to my computer for almost a month. But it's just a coincidence, I swear.
