I literally arrived at the airport, checked in and went directly to the AIREST lounge in less than 15 minutes. It has been a while since I have had such efficient service.

I am learning a lot about preparing/coordinating for a major humanitarian assistance effort through the interactions on the Gustav Information Center. Check it out and get involved if you wish.

I cannot help but think that Sen. John McCain is desperate and is gambling away his chance to be the next President of the United States by choosing Gov. Sarah Palin. I predict that the flames of the U.S “culture-wars” will be stoked and this decision will severely cripple the McCain campaign.

I do not even know this person and I intuitively sense that McCain has only chosen her because he wants to appease the conservative right in America and to try to bring about division within the Democratic party by attempting to win over Hillary Clinton supporters. I feel sorry for Sen. McCain, I have/had a lot of respect for him. This decision of his is not what is best for America, it is only made as a desperate attempt to become the next U.S. President.

When I watch this video "Dijon Project Poweriser Echasses Urbaines 2008" I cannot help but think about how technology augments and enhances our abilities. It is incredible to watch what the Dijon Project can do with these Powerisers. When reflecting upon education and learning can we use the Powerisers as a metaphor for technology enhanced learning? Does technology help us "rise" to reach our learning goals? Or, does technology get in the way and becomes just another fun thing to toy around with? What do you think?

Welcome Joe Biden!
