PSYCHOTIC REACTIONS

The best lesson I had writing here:
If someone reacts stupidly to your comment, ignore that person. But worse than harsh reactions are those vain, nonsense posts.

CONNECTABILITY

If technology can connect everything in the whole world, just think how easier it is for us to connect spiritually with the universe.

WHITE HOUSE REBOOT

This was from Wired:

The Wired Presidency: Can Obama Really Reboot the White House?

Technophiles who watched the campaign closely expected more, and now they are putting pressure on the White House to govern with unparalleled transparency and citizen interaction. Dan Froomkin of the Niemen Watchdog Journalism Project and The Washington Post summed up expectations in a blog post calling for Obama to embrace “wiki culture” in which “major policy proposals have public collaborative workspaces.”

Obama has himself to blame for raising such expectations. During the campaign, he embraced every form of social media. At My.BarackObama.com, supporters could create profiles, talk to each other, and—by election day—plan some 200,000 offline dinners and living room fund-raisers. Users could log in from home to get lists of swing-state voters to telephone; this generated 3 million calls in the final four days of the race. Those efforts were combined with massive database-crunching to identify potential voters who could be approached door-to-door by last-minute canvassers, myself included.

PRESIDENT OF COINCIDENCES

About 90 percent of WP posts celebrated Obama yesterday. I like to call Pres. Obama the ‘president of coincidences’. I hope only good ones though.
