I wrote a new page just for the people that find me through Twitter.  Because there are a lot of them.  And they deserve their own welcome.

There are so many things I want to blog about.  Personal stuff, family stuff. work stuff.  I’m just really backed up right now.  This time of year seems to get very compressed

Everything should launch before Christmas - and well in advance of Christmas.  Web sites are no difference. 

I have two posts almost ready to go.

But lately I have spent a lot more time talking to people I meet through Twitter, or on one of the Pod-shows I participate in.

And as this election continues I think I will actually offer my political perspective - which will probably surprise you.  No matter how you know me.

So stay tuned for a few posts I think are important/interesting.  As soon as I can finish them.

I was never a great fan of Plaxo, although I did use the service (mostly as a birthday reminder).

But Comcast, I really don’t like.  So as soon as I heard the news, I sent my last message on the Plaxo system:

plaxo

 

 

 

 

It reads, "Robert is trying to figure out how to delete his Plaxo/Comcast account".

And I did figure it out:

plaxo_deleted 

 

 

 

 

The rumors were accurate: Comcast will announce their acquisition of social contact list Plaxo today. Financial terms are not being disclosed, but the purchase price is between $150 and $170 million. Plaxo, which was founded in 2002, has raised just under $30 million in venture capital.

 

 

Confirmed: Comcast Bought Plaxo, Deal Closed Today

A friend sent me this "books on tape" 6 CD set as a gift.  I’m really enjoying it.  I had no idea it cost $70, but I am enjoying it.  Obama reads quite well, as this small clip below demonstrates.

Obama talks of Hawaii.

In this lyrical, unsentimental, and compelling memoir, the son of a black African father and a white American mother searches for a workable meaning to his life as a black American. It begins in New York, where Barack Obama learns that his father figure he knows more as a myth than as a man has been killed in a car accident. This sudden death inspires an emotional odyssey first to a small town in Kansas, from which he retraces the migration of his mothers family to Hawaii, and then to Kenya, where he meets the African side of his family, confronts the bitter truth of his fathers life, and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.
