TGIF!

Interesting article on Barack Obama on Slate. The coverage on his (maybe) presidential intentions – well, I’m a fan of his, but I’m on the fence of whether he’s to pursue the presidency in 2008 or not, but the article makes the pro argument fairly well (while still taking into account realities). Got the new Obama book, so looking to read it soon – from what I can tell, not quite the poignancy of the first book, but it (more importantly) still has his voice.

Game 5 of the World Series… sorry, Detroit.  St. Louis Cardinals are Champions.  Darn.

I’m really getting into YouTube – watching these various clips or videos.  Prof. Tim Wu explains on Slate that YouTube’s pretty legal.  Not completely, but pretty much so.
The amusing Direct TV ad with William Shatner as Captain Kirk inserted in a clip from (apparently Star Trek VI, not clear) which movie – praising that Starfleet installed the crystal clear picture… Actually, Shatner looks really odd due to either age or the walking in front of a blue screen to make the ad. But, what I really loved – the theme song (the one from the movies/Next Generation) – the majesty of the tune just makes the Trekkie in me swell with pride and hum along. Ah, 40 years of Trek indeed! Almost made me want to get DirecTV – almost!
