No matter your thoughts on Obama, it’s a good time to be proud of your country.  Shivers run through me, filling my heart and mind with hope and excitement for the years to come.  I believe in Obama and am proud to have had the opportunity to vote for him.  My cousin Sadie forwarded this video to me.  It’s a nice composition.

All of us daydream from time to time of new commuting solutions.  Here we have one of the best ideas yet.  I just might be interested in getting a job with a commute longer than 18 seconds if I could slide on home in my swimsuit.  Enjoy the ride!

A Stab at Zune

Monday nights Chuck episode contained a clip that gave me a seriously good laugh.  I even mentioned to Lynnee and Matt that I needed to blog about it.  I’ve run across a posting by Gizmodo that I should have posted myself.  Click here to see the clip from Chuck.  If you know me at all, you’ll understand why I think this is so funny!

Concorde 5 Years Later

It’s really too bad that this magnificent piece of machinery is no longer in operation.  Maybe one day the need for such aircraft will encourage another such airline to bring it back to life, or something similar.  If I had money, you bet I’d be taking taking a Mach 2 flight in that thing.

Squidoo Charity Giveaway

So here’s a simple task for you all.  Go to this link and choose a charity to receive a $2 donation.  $2 may not seem like much, but when it all adds up. . .  http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-charity-giveaway

Seth Godin founded Squidoo and as you may have noticed, I really respect the guy for his brilliant thoughts on life and business.  Squidoo is donating up to $80,000 to these charities (40,000 votes).  I noticed after I voted that there are currently about 7000 votes.  So get in there and make your one vote, and then tell others to do the same.  It’s free money to help out your preferred charity.  If there’s free money to give, let’s make sure it’s all used up before mid October when the voting ends.

There are a couple of things I don’t like about the presentation of this giveaway.  One, there is a very long list of charities there.  And most of those charities I don’t know anything about.  So it would be nice if they were to offer a link to or just a small blurb about the charity.  Secondly, I’m not a big fan of it being considered a popularity contest.  Most charities on there are very worthwhile and need more support.  However, the Ferrets Unlimited Ferret Shelter isn’t exactly where I’ll be sending my vote considering the importance of most of the others.
