Mixed into the excitement of today’s inauguration, were two technological items of note that may have gotten swept a bit under the carpet.  The first is the launch of Barack Obama’s Presidential website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/  Obama’s team have created the first dynamic Presidential website with a tone very much in keeping with the tone Obama [...]

When the moon is in the 7th house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars…
It may not be THAT aligned, but I find it rather appealing that our Blogging Boomers Carnival celebrates our 100th carnival episode on a national holiday (MLK) and the day before the most historic presidential inauguration in the US.  Does it mean anything???  [...]

Do you have to be at the office or on the road tomorrow?  Don’t despair — if you have access to the internet, you can watch this historic inauguration live and online at CNN:  http://www.cnn.com/live/  Plus CNN has partnered with Facebook, so if you sign up, you’ll be able to join millions of other by [...]

Apparently, along with many of you, I’ve got a heck of a lot on my mind lately.  There are so many things I want to share — reviews of new movies coming up (a little bit of escapism never hurt anyone), much,  much more on the auto industry, perspective on the economy, new technologies — but [...]

America has spoken. Barack Obama, President -elect has broken racial barriers, voter turnout records, and shown the world that he, and his spectacular team, is capable of re-energerizing the nation. Tears in my eyes, my mother’s eyes, and my daughter’s eyes, as along with millions of Americans and countless viewers around the world, [...]

I spent a few hours yesterday at the Obama/Biden campaign offices for the San Fernando Valley, volunteering my time and my cell phone minutes to join hundreds of other people in calling eligible voters to remind them to get out and vote. Never thought I’d take part in a political campaign in any way, [...]

What an odd Halloween this year. I’ve been planning on posting several times this week, but my heart was just not into blogging and I couldn’t really figure out why. Well, now that Halloween has come and gone, I think I’ve got it. I’m a bit depressed. Just like the rest of you. No matter [...]

Ronni Bennett, over at Time Goes By, one of the best elder blogs on the net (cutting commentary, says what others don’t want to say, fantastic finds, elder gems), found this wonderful Google offering and shares it. A great way to figure out ways to save money and lessen your carbon footprint at the [...]
