Obama in 2008

The long-awaited announcement was made today that Barrack Obama has filed a presidential exploratory committee. According to the Tribune article, this means that Obama can start raising funds even before formally announcing his candidacy. I’m not exactly sure how the political process works in declaring your candidacy and actually running for president, but Obama is definitely a candidate I look forward to hearing more about in the news.

I still wonder if Obama is getting a little ahead of himself. Despite his stellar academic background, he is only a freshman senator. Is that enough experience to handle the fragile international political climate we find ourselves in now? I suppose only time will tell.

Jacqui on MacWorld SF

Jacqui was interviewed by a couple of tech news outlets, including a video podcast interview for TUAW. Check it out:

While out in San Francisco, she also met up with Hersch and was interviewed for TWiT by Leo Laporte. Kudos to Jacqui on her successful trip to MacWorld SF, and I hope she feels better soon.

I want one of each

I didn’t get a chance to watch any video of the MacWorld Keynote by Steve Jobs, but I have had a chance to take a look at the coverage of the event that Jacqui has done for Ars. Two of the big things Jobs announced were the iPhone and Apple TV. Perhaps it’s the fanboy in me, but I want one of each.

You can read more about both products at Apple’s web site, or at any of the many tech sites covering MacWorld. I’ll post links later, when real life gets out of the way.
