Obama: Does He Pass the Social Media Test?

He used social media and the web unlike any other presidential candidate in history. Barack Obama’s incredible online presence turned into a grassroots movement culminating in his election as the 44th President of the United States. He was all over YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere.
100% cotton apron in pristine white and printed with my bright red teacake design; a wee slice of nostalgia based on everyone’s favourite teatime treat. This is a really great quality apron perfect for the toughest of kitchen or barbeque environments! Manufactured using a sturdy 10oz cotton twill (like denim jeans) with self fabric waist and neck ties. http://folksy.com/items/31708-Teacake-Apron

http://jmek.tumblr.com/ Saturday, January 14, 2012 by: Mike Bundrant In the early days of my training as a psychotherapist, I chose an odd mentor, an old man with white hair and steely blue eyes who fit the classic description of a sage. Every month a small group of us would venture out to his hide away in some obscure village in northern New Mexico and sit at his feet, reveling in the mysteries of the psychotherapeutic process. His name was Zink, and sometimes he gave us very strange assignments. Once he said, “I want to you steal some cookies from the grocery store.

Where: Scientific literature and museums on the east coast of the USA. Found even today in public consciousness and outdated dinosaur books. What: Brontosaurus is perhaps the most well known of the sauropod dinosaurs. Too bad it never really existed! The history of this name and why it became so popularized starts in 1877 when the paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh applied the name Apatosaurus to a sauropod specimen. This specimen was not very complete and mostly represented by vertebrae and a pelvis.

A campaign against the wrongful conviction of an armed robber (later convicted for another armed robbery…), it resulted in scattered graffiti, damaged test wickets / attention to detail : ‘I’m building a small N-gauge layout which is meant to be set in East London (somewhere between Fenchurch St and Barking); the trains run on a viaduct.

Literature and Latte - Scrivener

Scrivener is a powerful content-generation tool for writers that allows you to concentrate on composing and structuring long and difficult documents. While it gives you complete control of the formatting, its focus is on helping you get to the end of that awkward first draft. Writing a novel, research paper, script or any long-form text involves more than hammering away at the keys until you’re done. Collecting research, ordering fragmented ideas, shuffling index cards in search of that elusive structure—most writing software is fired up only after much of the hard work is over. Enter Scrivener: a word processor and project management tool that stays with you from that first, unformed idea all the way through to the final draft.
It will probably come as no surprise that I won't be doing any more development on RoughDraft. I've been meaning to announce this for a long time - apologies to those who were hoping for a new version. At this point it would require a complete re-write, and with my novel-writing commitments, I simply don't have the time. http://www.salsbury.f2s.com/rd.htm

Moolies: "Everyone is becoming like a Stasi agent"

Ralf Hütter from the Gods of modern music, Kraftwerk is interviewed in The Guardian today, being interviewed by John Harris. 2 good people. A quote that the subeditors pulled out for special attention was ""Everybody is becoming like ... a Stasi agent, constantly observing himself or his friends." It struck a chord, and made me think about the whole privacy debate. As well as the clear points of discussion: the searching of peoples' Facebook/Myspace profiles for tidbits by future employers (or indeed, them asking for your username and passwords !
