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).
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.
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.
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.
