That’s right, our latest project turned into a pretty big effort; live election results for the entire US! We’re allowing you to customize which races you want to watch in real-time.
The idea for this project started back in August of 2010 as a simple site to show some local live election results for one county. It was a quick and simple application that worked really well.
In October, we started working on some improvements and decided to expand the scope of the results to cover all U.S. Senate, U.S. House races, and as many states as we could before November 2nd. Oh, and we redesigned the Silverlight UI and added a ton of functionality.
On top of that, the project now includes a mobile web version for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry devices. And a custom Windows Phone 7 client application with some really advanced features. Not to mention a ton of new really smart high-availability back-end data services.
So, yeah, lots of work and not much sleep. But it’s really awesome and we’re very happy with it. Check it out: Live Election Results for November 2nd 2010.

Even though it appears that I’ve fallen off the end of the earth, it’s not true. For the last 45 days, I have been at the top-secret Cyragon Games headquarters working on their latest hit game.
Title from the game Strategic Command
That’s right, Strategic Command!
Two armies. One battlefield. One victor. Will it be you?
Use strategy and deception to maneuver your armed forces into your opponent’s territory and conquer their headquarters. The winner will be crowned with glory and live to see their name thunder down the hallowed corridors of time. The loser will be buried in infamy.
The fate of the war is in your hands. What will you do, commander?
This will be our entry in the Silverlight Server Quest Game Contest.
