We've made some significant progress in the area of verifited
voting. California is likely to decertify one of Diebold's
machines and Ohio's likely to demand voter-verified paper audit trail
(VVPAT) features on any machine used in the state.

It's always
something, isn't
it.
I
buy a tube of toothpaste from Walgreen's. I get a receipt
or
it's free. But I won't be able to verify my vote in Ohio
using
Diebold's blackbox voting machine. Couple that with Diebold's
O'Dell living in Columbus, Ohio (the state capitol) rubbing
elbows at Republican fundraisers with the likes of Ohio Secretary of
State Ken Blackwell who's ready to spend $100 million for blackbox
voting and I'm more than concerned.

Spring!
Not
much to say for the past month. I've got a therapy practice
to run, a PhD to complete, and a campaign loss to get over. Seeing
and hearing Dean today on C-span speaking at the Gridiron luncheon
helped. I went to the Cincinnati Dean Meetup on March 3rd and
that helped as well.
Regardless of the Democratic nomination and the election next November
a number of people I've met recently are not accepting politics as
usual. We'll all be taking action in various ways whether that's
involvement in a political campaign or dealing with the politics of
getting children the help they need with special
education. I gave a presentation Thursday on blogging to a
half dozen or so
professionals who work with kids. The idea of all this is
continuing the conversation for change.
Yep, feeling more like Spring now.

Enough!
I've been thoroughly disgusted with the media attention to the
primaries. Digging at all into the stories even the PBS News Hour
has lost the concept of journalism. So... think I'll go and meet
some Dean supporters for the inside story.

Back in the day...
in 1967, Howard Zinn called for our immediate withdrawal from Vietnam. Now he writes a hypothetical presidential address
telling why withdrawal from Iraq is the wiser course of action. I don't
know what the wisest course of action is for politics, our country or
our way of conducting ourselves in business. But neither politics- nor
business-as-usual is the way to go.
Happy NEW Year and new ways of getting things done!

Weinberger on Dean and blogging
This may be "old" news for
bloggers and Dean supporters, perhaps not so for my therapist and
academic friends. ITconversations--and for the latter group that's I-T
not "it"--interviewed one of Cluetrain authors, David Weinberger, in
mid-December '03. Weinberger's the Dean campaign's internet consultant
(good choice, eh?). I found the interview thoroughly enjoyable and useful.
Speaking of therapist and academic friends...
I
tried several years ago (1999?) to web a conversation that originated
in email. After cutting and pasting and editing the result wasn't half
bad. But the dynamics ended there. I'm hoping more folks will be able to participate now.
