A long hiatus in Geezercasting — but now the deadlines and holidays are past and here’s a Geezercast to celebrate.
Two topics — the need for us whiners to give Obama a freekin’ break for cryin’ out loud, and a nice expose of a major national polling company by Nate silver of FiveThirtyEight.com fame.
Couple ideas in this one. First, why the heck does Congress get to ignore insider trading laws that all the rest of us have to follow? Second, ruminating about fixing stuff.
Huh. Pretty short interval between Geezercasts here. But Marcie and I had a couple pretty interesting conversations on the Morning Walk and I thought I’d share them. One is about cyber-war and the other one is about how people are treated on reality TV shows. You’ll have to listen to hear how that all goes together.
I know, it’s a weird combination of topics, but I’m taking a breather from writing Broadband Task Force report-drafts and that’s what’s caught my fancy.
Marcie and I are off to fight prairie-invaders today so there’s a little about that, and then there’s commentary about Al Franken’s arrival as our second Senator (with a dash of Sarah Palen).
A quick Geezercast to settle me in to the new Vista/Mac world after a month of computer transition. Kids graduating from college and etc. are featured in this one.
Dang. The economy isn’t getting better. A few reflections for the unborn grandchildren about where we’re at, where we’re going and the fact that life goes on.
This is a true Geezercast — capturing my thoughts for the grandchildren 50 years from now. I was at the ICANN meetings in Cairo the night of the election, so I have a few stories to tell about that too.
The Chicago Tribune has NEVER endorsed a Democrat for President. Until today, when they endorsed Barak Obama. I was so entranced I decided to read the endorsement into the Geezercast record – so the unborn Grandchildren can hear it. Here you have it — 11 minutes of me reading the Chicago paper to ya.
