Election Humor

Techmeme’s political sister-site, Memeorandum is full of speculation on how the New Hampshire polls could be so wrong. As usual, conspiracy theories abound, amongst them speculation on the role Diebold’s voting machines  played in the results.  I’m not joining the speculation, nor can I completely ignore it; after all, we’re hearing about voting machine problems all the time, several states decertified them… but I simply don’t have enough facts to take sides in this debate (although I wrote about the issue in the past)  That said, a little laugh does not hurt … and you have to admit these posters are just hilarious:

“Local Warming” – Quoted in a TED Presentation

Investor and prankster Yossi Vardi delivered a lecture @ TED (March 2007, Monterey, CA) on the dangers of blogging. Specifically, um, for men. Eagle-eyed Amit Agarwal spotted a glimpse of my earlier blog post, Will Geeks Become an Endangered Species? embedded in the presentation:

The Foolproof Way of Making at least One 2008 Prediction Come Through

  1. blah blah (insert your own)
  2. blah blah (insert your own)
  3. blah blah (insert your own)
  4. blah blah (insert your own)
  5. blah blah (insert your own)
  6. blah blah (insert your own)
  7. blah blah (insert your own)
  8. blah blah (insert your own)
  9. blah blah (insert your own)
  10. None of My Top 9 Predictions Come True: This is my insurance. If this prediction is true, I got one right. If I get this wrong, at least one other came true. Either way, I get to write a post in 2008 claiming that I predicted the future accurately.

You can buy it here – me thinks it’s a better deal than dehydrated water. smile_eyeroll

P.S. I can’t believe this did not make it to the Economist’s 2008 tech predictions list…or anyone’s for that matter: mathewingram.com/work, broadstuff, Darren Herman , Feld Thoughts.

Is there a Fake Fake Steve Jobs?

Am I the only one thinking the latest episode in the FSJ shutdown drama is not even written by The Man himself? It’s just too lengthy … not his style at all. Is there a Fake Fake Steve Jobs now?

On the other hand, if it’s really him, could he be preparing to “retire”?

Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.

SAP Needs CEO

Picked this up from James Governor’s thread:

battery near dead. how hard is it to have plugs for a room full of influencers? sap events needs a chief electricity officer… 😉

Rest assured, the “other” CEO, Henning Kagermann is well, thank you very much. In fact he just spent a good 40 minutes with the Enterprise Irregulars, and if I had an SD card adapter or a stupid cable with me (I know, how low-tech…) I could post the group photo to prove it.

Update (12/5): More on the Chief Electricity Officer of James’s Green Blog. Oh, and here’s the photo, finally:
