This is surreal for the USA and for me. I am so happy that I am crying for joy!

God is a good GOD.

Congratulations, Sen. Barack Obama in becoming the Democratic Nominee for President of the USA. I did not find out until early this morning but I had nothing to read or listen to for I was without access to the internet or tv until this afternoon. (I was on the auto train) Now, I am without electricity (thank you to my neighbor's wi fi for connecting me for sharing my happiness!)

Thank you MSNBC for the commentary here:

NYTimes Article: What Did the Professor Say?! Check Your iPod?

For me, if I were currently a student, this technology would have made me a straight A student. I always have had to re-read, re-read and continuously re-read my notes. Though I did well, I had to work extremely hard sometimes to understand some points that I did not understand during lecture.

It was not until I was in law school that I was introduced to the concept of taping class to re-hear what the professor said. Our school was equipped for this in 1997! But, it was VHS tapes that we had to check out. I preferred though going to class and getting the class then as opposed to listening later. My commute to school too was not long but if I had a long commute, cassette tapes would have been perfect.

Why I did Vox and Twitter

I have learned how to use all the programs at the same time in
addition to some others.

Twitter is excellent for News because I have a news feed for NyTimes
and CNN.

Look at this:

I even have a timer on here:

Still checking out more of the third party applications. Most people
on these websites are older which is good. Meaning at least 25 and
over.

So, if you want a different demographic of people or just to explore
go there. Most of us are on last.fm too. But, I would take it slow
especially if you are a celebrity. If you are a celebrity you may want
to have 2 accounts - personal (for your select friends) and business
for just promotion. It all depends on what you want.

I have a display on the front of my profile of myspace of
what goes on my twitter feed but right now the code is not allowing you
to link directly to me. I have checked some other twitter profiles
and they are experiencing the same problem.

Reading this article made me upset, angry and hopeless. It is an education of what is going on in the Congo. I honestly do not know what can be done to remedy the problem. So distressing!
