Wow. [youtube yqoFwZUp5vc](Click through if you can’t see this in your reader.) We were driving back from San Diego, listening to CNN on XM Radio (my kids were thrilled). When Blitzer called Iowa for Barack I nearly drove off the road. I’m elated. Quickly, here’s my predictions for NH: Barack Wins, Clinton places second (but…

Yes, that’s right: I still own a house in Illinois. No, I’m not happy about it. Yes, I want to sell it to you. The price is now down over 20% from where we listed it in May – and we were underpriced for our neighborhood back then! Details are all over at the realtor’s…

In less than 72 hours, we’ll know the results of the Iowa caucus. Iowans will have made their choice, and they will set in motion a series of events that will result in the Democrats picking our nominee. I’ve been unabashed in my support of Barack Obama from day one: indeed, I wrote on this…

We moved to California in July. We moved into a new house, and of all the things that have been a challenge with this move, one was particularly unexpected: getting our mail. We’ve entered a wormhole, one in which mail never predictably gets to us. It’s not our old post office in Naperville – they’re…

No real time to write a long post about this, but here are my predictions for Iowa and beyond: Barack wins Iowa, with 30%+ of the vote. Edwards comes in second, with 20-25%. Hillary comes in third. Barack wins NH, Hillary comes in second. Barack wins SC, Edwards comes in second. Going into Super Tuesday,…

A few months ago, I (along with most of the rest of the blogosphere) was moved by Randy Pausch’s last lecture at Carneige Mellon. Pausch, you may recall, has a terminal diagnosis from an aggressive cancer, and has just a few months left. Not surprisingly, many people were moved by his lecture. Here’s the transcript,…

My immediate reaction to seeing Huckabee’s answer to the “Do you believe every word in the Bible?” question at the YouTube debate last week? He’s your Republican nominee: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-nMaYq3QE] A home run answer if ever there was one. He’s someone who, though I disagree pretty fundamentally with many of his positions, I could easily…

The campaign’s already got the video up on YouTube: [youtube tydfsfSQiYc](You can see it here if you’re having trouble seeing the video in a feed reader.) Four years ago, Robin and I drove to Des Moines to see Dean and the other candidates at this same event. It was a remarkable night, not so much…

I spoke at Blogworld Expo yesterday and the speaker gift was a Bluetooth mouse from MoGo. It’s a PCMCIA (PC Card? I can’t remember what we’re supposed to call those blessed peripherals any more) card that charges its battery while inserted. When removed, it’s a wireless mouse that connects to your computer via Bluetooth. The…
