Political scientist Dr David Runciman gives [...]

I received this in my e-mail this afternoon:
Really, AT&T? Just $9.99 per month? That’s it? Funny. Google Voice provides this same service for free. Of course, everything Google Voice provides is free.
You’d think, though, that for all the money I already give AT&T each month, that they’d give me a little something extra once in [...]

I am so tired this evening… I just told Tina that I have been over-stimulated today… Just an exciting day.Today was a very busy day at work. I was able to catch the inaugural address at lunchtime though. And afterwards I found myself once again (for the first time, really?) defending My President. [...]

Okay, not really #72. I made that number up. But this is still something that bugs me a little, in a funny kind of way.We just got new cordless phones yesterday that have a built-in answering machine. “Yay for technology!” Right?

Obama harnessed the grass-roots power of the Web to get elected. How will he use that power now?

Well, I’ve set up an older computer I have at home in order to play with a more stable Linux box. I’ve always loaded/reloaded different Linux flavors over and over again, just long enough to get the desktop looking how I wanted, and then, boom, I’d reload it with something else.
Well, I’ve got this [...]

I was keenly aware of this online battle:
I really believe that the way the Obama camp immersed itself with technology was a key to victory. They did an outstanding job with facebook and MySpace profiles, with their MyBO portal, their personalized e-mail and text message distribution. We all know that Barack didn’t personally pound [...]

Wow. This has been an amazing race. I think CBS should really re-consider the title of that show, because we just witnessed The Amazing Race.
I just watched John McCain’s concession speech, and he was absolutely first class all the way. Senator McCain is a true American Hero, and his service to his country should [...]
