QuickTime Panorama from the DNC in Denver
It looks to me like Obama’s idea of having a rally in a big stadium instead of a convention center paid off. The place was packed and the energy was high. This photograph captures a bit of it. Note that it was done with a Canon XSi and a [...]

An Old Sound in Harlem Draws New Neighbors’ Ire
Wow, the complexity of living in New York. So many issues all wrapped up in a tight ball here: tradition, cultural heritage, the evolution of a neighborhood, the right to quiet in one’s home.

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven [...]

A Conversation With Barack Obama
I post this because the image, taken by Peter Yang, shows Obama sitting at a couple of (15″?) MacBook Pros.
Now, if he’s got files and folders on his desktop arranged like a penis we’re trouble. Oh, right, that was a windows machine. Whew, no Mac users keep that many files and [...]

The New York Times has a fascinating interactive graphic on Voting Patterns in Democratic Primary.
Obama, Clinton, money, education, gender, race, all mixed up together. For those of us who can better understand things visually and tactily (multi-sensory learners) this is the bomb.

The Chicago Tribune has a small collection of very nice images: The Making of a Candidate: Barack Obama.
I’ve also heard that the actor Ed Norton’s film crew has been documenting Obama’s campaign, including the internal stuff. A documentary is no doubt in the works.

Roger Cohen has an excellent editorial in today’s NY Times: The Obama Connection where he discussed the connection between Obama’s experience as a community organizer putting him in a perfect position to appreciate and use web-based communication and organizing to help drive his campaign and introduce himself to people who don’t know about him.
If Obama [...]

Does anyone with an education reading this actually believe that Obama is a muslim? Better yet, does anyone with an education reading this believe it would be a problem (for you) if Obama was of the Muslim faith?
People without an education don’t have the tools to filter out the noise and don’t have the worldview [...]
