Thursday, November 13, 2008
Thanks to Laurence Hartje for sending this in, looks like Barack Obama is an iChat-loving, Mac-using, BlackBerry-addicted president elect. This puts my mind at rest a bit more knowing that our president-to-be understands and utilizes technology to get work done, as opposed to still being impressed with Fire and Water… not that they aren’t cool, I’m [...]
