Web video like this is what sets the Obama campaign far apart from its rival and from every other political campaign waged in American history. The tone, style and content of this ad – aimed at volunteers – is emotional and inspiring. It taps into the energy of people who have devoted the last few months or years to his campaign. It’s so good, in fact, that it should be aired as a national spot – seen by millions – in these last days of the campaign. My favorite part? When he says, “do some organizing…do some community organizing.”

Needless to say, I’ve been devoting my time over the past couple of weeks. You should consider doing the same.

I’ll have a post up soon on what I’ve seen in other parts of Virginia, and why I think Obama will win in this state. in the meantime, watch it:

Where Did the Machine Go?

corbusier — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:59:25 +0000

Twitter mostly. But also using August as my much needed time to catch up on what I need to do with my life. Fixing odds and ends around our house. Getting ready for a crazy work-related trip abroad (more on that later). Catching up with friends, too.

I miss blogging, so I’ll be back soon.

I’m Not a Social Outcast, Dammit!

Ian Sohn over on Ogilvy’s blog answers a question that all of us social media nerds constantly get: Where do you find the time to do that?

That’s the question I often get when I talk to people about my participation in online social media. Where DO you find the time to update your Twitter stream? Where DO you find the time to upload photos to FaceBook? Where Do you find the time to read all those blogs?

The question is inevitably asked with a tone that implies I am either a total social misfit, ignore my family or slack off at work (or D: all of the above).
My initial reaction usually takes a defensive tone – where do YOU find the time to sit on the couch and stare at the TV for 3 hours a night?

Read his whole post here. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
