The One America Committee says it is "dedicated to helping elect Democratic candidates across the country." The most important Democrat seems to be Senator John Edwards. Remember him? Eight months after the 2004 Presidential election, Senator Edwards launched a video blog. While it is hard to imagine the Senator fiddling around with his computer late at night editing video (he has some professional help on this), it does maintain a grassroots, homemade feeling. Citizens (right now mostly video bloggers) can video tape a question and send it in. Then Sen. Edwards answers the question, also on video. The end result is a time-delayed conversation, or a really long town hall meeting. It is a great application of the vlog concept. And a good indicator that the Internet will continue to be a key tool in politics.

South Korean president faces fight over cabinet picks
Special prosecutors last week cleared Lee of various allegations, including that he was involved in a 2001 stock price manipulation case. Lee, who flatly denied the charges, was the country's first president-elect to undergo a criminal inquiry. The main opposition party, the United Democratic Party, is the largest voting bloc with 141 seats in the 298-member National Assembly. Members have blasted Han for failing to report an expensive apartment his wife purchased in 2001, when he was serving as foreign minister, in violation of the ethics law covering government officials. Han, 72, has said he was too busy to report the purchase because he was also serving as president of the UN General Assembly. Although the post of prime minister is largely ceremonial, the occupant leads the country if the president becomes incapacitated.

Peter Carey an Australian in New York
You can crash and burn after a year's work. I'm writing a book now, and it's scary still because even though I've been through stages of being immensely pleased with it, I also, at times, don't know what I'm doing." Despite the limited time the narrative spends there, His Illegal Self offers us the most substantial view yet of Carey's adopted city. The book opens in New York and, for the first time, Carey has written a novel that includes American main characters. Most surprisingly, his narrator has a finite knowledge of Australia. Set in the late 1960s and early 1970s, His Illegal Self explores life in privileged Manhattan and in subversive, underground America. It also takes in Australia at a time, Carey writes, when "Queensland was a police state run by men who never finished high school".
Transcribing in Linux: Easy As 1, 2, 3...
I'm fairly sure that this is not open source software. My reasoning for stating this, since I have yet to see anything even close to Express Scribe, in the open source world as of yet. Much like MainActor is to those who want entry level software for decent video editing, I see Express Scribe as filling this same need, and perhaps even hitting a more important piece of the Linux puzzle.

iTALC promotes learning on a classroom network
iTALC, or Intelligent Teaching and Learning with Computers, is a didactical tool designed to assist teachers. Despite its name, the tool itself isn't a learning environment. It's meant to let teachers control their students' computers in a computer-driven classroom setting. Thanks to its powerful remote desktop control features, simple setup, and lack of cost, it's a potential remote assistance tool for any type of network.
More Obama substance!
But so far Obama isn't close to meeting the Joe Klein Piss-Someone-Off Test, despite the efforts of his press boosters to claim he has. Tom Maguire points to a comical attempt by the New York Times, where a mini-profile by Jefff Zeleny declared: He has demonstrated an occasional willingness to break from liberal orthodoxy, including his vote to confirm Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state, which at the time infuriated liberals (13 Democrats opposed her). Wow! As Maguire notes: "So Obama boldly stood with a mere 86 fellow Senators .... " P.S.: What's the word for trumped-up contrarianism? Sister Fauxjah? ... **--Thanks to commenter "Trevor" on bloggingheads for the link. 2:08 P.M. link Sunday, December 24, 2006 On to New Hampshire! The mighty Hillary juggernaut closes its vise-like grip on the post of Senate Majority Leader.
