White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code
“In the West Wing, Mr. Obama is a bit of a wanderer. When Mr. Bush wanted to see a member of his staff, the aide was summoned to the Oval Office. But Mr. Obama tends to roam the halls; one day last week, he turned up in the office of his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, who was in the unfortunate position of having his feet up on the desk when the boss walked in.” I love these little details, the behind the scenes stuff. Then again, The West Wing is my favorite show to ever air on television.

Your Weekly Address from the President-Elect
The “fireside chat” of the 21st century. I love it, and I’m really glad to see the innovation from Obama’s campaign carry over into his presidency. Everyone loves a good horse race, but it’s the governing that brings about the change. I hope things like this keep people’s interest, even just a little, in what can be a pretty arduous process.

“What we think vs. what they say we think — All the chatter on the Internet, all the traditional news media coverage, and all the pollsters — Perspctv brings it all together in a simple and elegant manner — and gives a unique “dashboard” picture of the elections at any one given moment in time, totally un-biased.” A set of infographics combining traditional news media information with what’s being said on Twitter and blogs. A good looking visualization and I love the “perspective” it gives you putting everything on one page, very nice.
