Making Citizen-Funded Campaigns A Reality →
Last summer at Netroots Nation, Lawrence Lessig of Change Congress wowed us with one of his patented slide presentations, this one focusing on changing the way campaigns are funded. This is not a new idea, of course, but it is one that by all accounts needs new eyes and new blood since all other attempts at solving the problem, at the federal level, at least, have either failed or sucked.

Blagojevich: Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence in America? I said I did nothing wrong. So give me a chance to show it.
Brown: But that applies -- presumption of innocence applies to a court of law. It doesn't apply to whether or not you can be impeached. Those are two separate things. Blagojevich: Oh, but not necessarily. In any kind of hearing, whether it's a courtroom, an administrative hearing or schoolyard justice, if some kid said another kid did something but he's got other kids that say he didn't do it, there ought to be some fundamental fairness to allow him to be able to say that. You say ...
Brown: But that's just simply not true. I hate to differ with you on this, but presumption of innocence doesn't apply in all cases. For example, if you do something embarrassing, like, I can get fired for that and CNN is not going to say, presumption of innocent and treat it ...
Blagojevich: CNN hired you. But the legislators didn't hire me, the people did. Yeah, removing a governor ...
Brown: But the state legislature represents the people.
Blagojevich: The governor was elected by the people. If they want to fire me ...
Brown: And so were all these people. They weren't appointed.
Blagojevich: They were elected in small districts and they come together and they're doing what they're doing ...
Brown: And they're doing what they're doing because they represent the people.

What can we learn from netbooks?

bijan:
Netbooks are taking off.
They clearly address pent up demand and they are especially timely during this economic climate. They are simple, small and low cost. And as the New York Times points out they are breaking old business models. They easily connect to the internet and with most of our data in the cloud - well, you can see which way the wind is blowing.

Obama and Tumblr « Smart People I Know →
I am a fan of tumblr.com. And I admire how Barack Obama and his team capitalize on good technologies for their benefit. So it comes as no surprise that his team used tumblr as a blog — actually, tumble log — for the The Inauguration. As is typical of the Obama tech team, they have taken tumblr, which is really good technology, and made it look even better! Click on the link above and see.

Any speaker who has not been brainwashed by the split-verb myth can sense that these corrections go against the rhythm and logic of English phrasing. The myth originated centuries ago in a thick-witted analogy to Latin, in which it is impossible to split an infinitive because it consists of a single word, like dicere, “to say.” But in English, infinitives like “to go” and future-tense forms like...

“Every time I talk to her, I’m like, ‘What are you doing now?’ ” said Mr. Robinson, who has delighted in his sister’s accounts of her days in Washington before the move to the White House. “We are such novices at this. I’m just trying to find out, How many bathrooms are in there?”
