The Presidency….conventions, VPs, and whatnot…

I thought Obama’s acceptance speech was great theatre.  If I thought he could deliver 10% of what he promises I would vote for him.  Choosing Biden as his running mate really puts a damper on his “change” theme.  I like Biden, but he has sat in the Senate since 1973!  Yep, that’s all about change…

Splintering the web…one phone at the time…

Trying to ignore the iPhone, I didn’t pay much attention to this phenomena in the past.  But now I have a crackberry and see it everywhere.  What is “it”, you ask?  “it” is the splintering of the web caused by a propietarty company extending web standards on their own and  causing web developers to code [...]
