Hosting a TEDx event (TEDxKC) is definitely a highlight of 2009… having one of the videos from the event accepted to the TED.com site (well) pure icing.  Congratulations on a great talk John.

Clay Shirky: How Cellpones, Twitter, Facebook Can Make History

While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics. (Recorded at TED@State, at the US State Department, June 2009, in Washington, DC. Duration: 17:03)

Okay… I loved Star Trek growing up (so) treat this as a biased endorsement (but) Star Trek freaking rocks…!  You must see it on the big screen in a theatre with great audio too.  The special effects are flawless, the storyline is compelling and the characters are both an homage to the TV series and a bit of a new direction (brash, young, fun-loving and fallible).
Bottom-line: Star Trek is a love-affair with all of Star Trek that has come before (but) it’s the first week of the affair—unpredictable, new, intoxicating, heady… and like that new love, you don’t want to leave (and) you can’t wait to get back for more! 
Oh—there  seems ample room for many more to follow.

Obama Resolves Riemann Hypothesis

In which the World’s Greatest President (WGP) continues to infuriate and confound his GOP critics by taking on — and checking off — so many impossibly ambitious projects and issues so quickly, so calmly, so impressively, that not only can’t they keep track, but they can’t write snarling, simpleminded, wrong-headed on-air commentaries and blog posts fast enough to string together a cohesive narrative of fear and outrage before Obama’s already moved on and announced he’s going to colonize the moon and cure oak blight and teach the world to communicate with dolphins.

Upshot: Total frothing extremist gibberish. Secession! Guns! Teabagging! Tears! Fascism! Limbaugh! The right-wing punditry frying itself to a panicky crisp like a giant KFC Family Bucket of frustration! Absolute genius, Mr. President.
