Notes ...
I can't help but chuckle to hear and read the stories coming from NASA about water on Mars. We have now apparently documened "Glaciers" at the Martian mid-latitudes, something first observed by NASA's Viking orbiters in the 1970's. Considering just a few short years ago it was thought generally impossible for water to exist at all, one has to wonder where this is all going.
We'll try and keep on top of it ...

Rise of the Machines /// The Future is now.
We have seen Robots in Sci-Fi for years and years.
We have seen Robots in the work place, we see them in War (Drones, Robots disarming Bombs), but now we see them at war with themselves ... Where does this lead us? Where is the interaction of Robots, Cybernetic Culture, and Biology? What is the state of future war - now? Ultrasonic signals (object Avoidance Systems)? The "Future Combat System" is now ...

Al Qaeda Wages Electronic War against US Forces in Iraq
Electronic War
Sniffing out bombs along roadsides is difficult. The fact that Insurgent forces were able to jam the anti IED sniffing device so quick shows a lot of sophistication and skill. Where are they safe to design such solutions? Surely, the model is mobile.

Clinton Rebuffs Liberal bloggers at Kos convention ...
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/
" CHICAGO (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton refused Saturday to forsake campaign donations from lobbyists, turning aside challenges from her two main rivals with a rare defense of the special interest industry..."
"...A lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it or not, represent real Americans, they actually do,” Clinton said, drawing boos and hisses from liberal bloggers at the second Yearly Kos convention."
What do you expect and why does this seem so out of sorts? I would suggest Clinton attack such Liberal bias with an ongoing web presence that is not so "cute." Interactive Immersion is the goal ...
The funny YouTube Video's are cool and all but what do they really accomplish? Not much ... They actually achieve the opposite ...
It's time for Senator Clinton to go on the WEB offensive ...

Keeping an Eye on Design ... 2.0 style is old school
A recent article on C|NET said the following:
Consumers say they don't want to be encumbered by the complexity of the products they buy. Designers are responding with seamless blends of software, hardware, and aesthetics. Tech designs new philosophy.
Simplicity, Visualization, Personal connection, Beyond the browser, Beyond the browser.
Consumers say they don't want to be encumbered by the complexity of the products they buy.
I would venture to say that this has been apparent to the new breed of ID and IA's out there. Simply put - Keep it Simple has always been a request from the user.
Why now to make it happen?

Web 2.0 enticements for students
C|Net reports that examples are coming out about students using Web 2.0 tools to enhance the classroom experience.
Hello. Those kids were using wiki, IM, SNS, etc. for some time before they even showed up to class .. Must make the teacher look old or at least a "wannabe."
We believe that the Web is a tool and has been for some time. That we had to wait for Web 2.0 is funny ...
