Just got back from watching some election coverage in the Darwin TV room with a good mix of Americans and, well, not-Americans. For most of the time, we were watching CNN, with occasional forays into the BBC coverage during the commercials. And they were extremely different. The BBC essentially had five old British guys sitting around a plain wood desk with old-school, barely-existant graphics and no props.
Meanwhile, on CNN, there were red-white-and-blue graphics and flags, both real and virutal, crowding the screen. The commentators' laptops were covered with CNN logos. They had a set of touch screens to rival those in the new James Bond (which, by the way, I saw on Saturday). And, I am not even kidding you, they had a reporter that they hologrammed in to the studio from Chicago.
Other Nika-updates: Nick survived America and came back to England on Friday. Also, as of Monday, he was no longer homeless -- bonus. Meanwhile, I went to a proper Bonfire Night on Saturday -- stay tuned for a full post on that sometime soon.
