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.

This is a Geezercast from inside the tornado. Just words for my unborn grandchildren as I watch worldwide financial-market chaos.

This is the first video and audio Geezercast, the prior 46 are audio-only, but hey we’re advancing here. So I talk a little about all that. In addition to a little geek rambling about the audio/video thing, I talk about posting a story to Reddit and Digg and obsessing about how high it got in the rankings.

In the early days of the Y2k problem, there were Pollyannas and Doomers. One side said “no problem!” the other side said “this is the end of the world as we know it.” Neither side was right — we muddled through. Now the sub-prime mortgage problem looks a lot the same way to me, with very polarized opinion and little credible info in the middle. That’s what I ruminate about in this Geezercast.

Couple things on my mind today. I’m pleased with how things are going with Barack Obama’s campaign and like the implications for you my unborn grandchildren. And Marcie just forwarded an interesting piece from the Times that supports my view that biofuels are dumb — at least the way we’re approaching them right now.

Mom died this month and this is the “lessons learned” Geezercast. A few words to my unborn grandchildren for when I do the same. It’s not as gloomy as that sounds, but it’s not wild entertainment either. Just some words…
Uffdah. Pretty choppy month or so on the financial markets. I talk a little bit about debt, the dollar, oil and cars, and the future. No conclusions — just great opportunity for my unborn grandchildren to giggle over the irony of it all.
Yep, big life-changing event. Haven.com, the family URL, got sold a few weeks back. The negotiation took a toll on the Geezercasting time, but probably means more Geezercasts in the long run as I drift back toward the “retired” end of the spectrum. I talk a little about some of the other repercussions too — selling our house and moving into a condo, and buying a 5th wheel.
This is a note to my unborn grandchildren — it’s a good plan to maintain your infrastructure. Otherwise, bad things happen like they did here in Minneapolis last week. Oh, and there’s a rant about cheapskate politicians in there too.
