The Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United
States was an emotionally charged event for me and the people I met
today.

I met people from all over the country since I arrived Sunday night
and they all spoke of our new President as a poltican that will engage
the country and bring us together as a people.

Revisiting Some of the Best Things TV *Can* Offer

There has always been some debate as to when and why television failed us in the face of it’s fantastic potential. Considering Youtube.com didn’t even register on the radar less that 4 years ago, it’s amazing to think in context that radio wasn’t even a major presence until the mind 1920’s - let alone that computers in the average home wasn’t a reality until the mid 1990’s.

I’ll expand on ALL of this more later but want to do a quickie - post ( until I can attend to this again when time allows), but in the meantime please enjoy a great easonal special offered by presenter-journalist Louis Theroux of the BBC.
