I've been working on converting an all-Flash Web site to HTML, so its content could be properly spidered by Google, Overture etc.

My latest effort is to add vCalendar support to its Events module.

I don't care much for elections. I'm loathe to throw out the baby of politics with the bathwater of centralized government, so I'm pursuing politics by other means (apologies to Von Clausewitz).
