POPSFuture of wind power - will be HUGE! I think it's incredibly exciting to be living during a time of such change. We are talking about a massive change in global dynamics that has already begun. The next few decades should be amazing.

POPSTesla Roadster hits the market!! This is awesome! I look forward with great excitement to the day when all cars are powered this way - and we have a state of the art electrical grid to support them. A truly world changing innovation.

POPSWhy the superdelegates would be foolish to pick Obama... I just don't see how the democratic party can choose Obama at this point. It seems to me that he racked up most of his wins months ago and that he is now clearly failing to maintain the momentum. To choose him at this point would be to deny or ignore the reality of the current circumstances.

POPSJunk about Obama from a dailykos diary Are you kidding me!? What Rev Wright has said goes way way way beyond the belief that "racism is alive and well in white middle class America." The references made by the author to Obama's "white advisors" and Obama having "become white" render this piece entirely hypocritical in my opinion. Usually i don't clip things that i find to be so stupid, but this one startled me so that i felt the need to point it out.

POPSThe essence of the Obama-Wright issue As far as i'm concerned, this strikes at the heart of this issue and it's why i don't think Obama can or should win. This relationship was too central to his life for too long a period of time for me to overlook.

POPSObama rips Reverand Wright I am glad he came out so strongly, but i can't help but wonder what took him so long. Regardless, i'm sure this was a personally difficult thing for him to do and i'm impressed he did it.

POPSAn important question about Obama This cuts to the heart of my concerns about Obama. In my opinion, he has not adequately justified his relationship with this man or his church. Personally, i think Obama falls well short of the standards he has set for others.

POPSStudent uses Twitter to get out of jail What an incredible example of the power of the social web. It's truly remarking how much power is gained by the people from the web. Knowledge is power...and the internet definitely helps spread knowledge more quickly to more people than ever before.

POPSWhy i find it hard being a Yankees fan! So i've been a yankee fan all my life. But these days i honestly find their owner, Hank Steinbrenner, to be such a jerk, that i find it hard to root for them. I feel as though he is going to ruin the franchise due to his overreaching, immature, spoiled nature.

POPSThomas Jefferson turns 265 years old This is an interesting piece about Jefferson. It's from a speech given recently at the White House honoring Jefferson. For those interested, i suggest visiting the source and reading the rest.

POPSIs Web 3.0 all about aggregation? Clipmarks is! Now here's something we know a thing or two about :). The thing they don't realize is that the true power is in enabling everyone to aggregate and filter the news and information for each other. It's not something that the major media companies need to do for us...we're doing it already! But then again, we all know that already don't we ;)

POPSSome updates to Clipmarks We've got a lot of great projects in the pipeline that we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks and months. We introduced some of these changes this week. If you click the source URL in this clip you'll see the blog post that outlines some of them. In addition to some new features, our work will primarily focus on accomplishing 3 things: (i) make the user interface of the site more intuitive and user friendly; (ii) strengthen the social aspects of the site (iii) make the site much faster and more reliable

POPSSenate votes to extend tax credits for renewable energy So the Senate and House have now decided to extend the tax credits. The big difference is that the House want to subsidize them by increasing taxes on oil companies, whereas the Senate just wants to eat the cost. Let's hope that Congress and the President can agree on a solution, because this would be great for the country and the world for many reasons!

POPSYahoo turns to Google. Microsoft cries foul. Very interesting move by Yahoo! They may be able to significantly increasing their earnings by integrating Google's search ads on their own site. Talk about a potential blow to microsoft. To think that they're left crying foul about this being anti-competitive after all these years is beyond ironic.

POPSClinton's top strategist steps aside Man, this is getting really sloppy. Hillary's top strategist is out working on a deal that Hillary claims to vigorously oppose. I'd have to say that it's just enough already. I think it may be time for her to accept that she has not run a consistent, solid campaign and step aside.

POPSHillary's false sense of self. very interesting analysis by Dick Morris. I usually tune him out because he's so totally anti-Clinton, but he makes a very strong argument in this piece. When it comes to running a solid campaign, the type you'd expect from someone claiming ot be so experienced, she sure hasn't done a great job.

POPSWhat Obama should have said I've been back and forth about Obama and Clinton for a while now, but i must say that i was deeply disappointed and upset about the way he handled the Rev. Wright issue. i don't think he should have used the outing of his racist pastor to give a general speech about race in America. i think he should have stepped up and forcefully spoken out against Wright and admitted his bad judgment in being affiliated with him. His ability to respond to every issue with an eloquent speech is something i'm beginning to find scary and disingenuous.

POPSBear Sterns fire sale! When i saw that Bear Sterns got acquired by JP Morgan for $2, my first thought was that it was a typo. When i realized it wasn't, my next thought was, "man, things must be really ugly out there." I'm hopeful that the incredible fear and negativity in the markets suggest that we're close to a bottom...cause this sure is getting scary.

POPSAn interesting take on Obama I hate to say it, but i largely agree with this perspective. I want so badly to believe in Obama, but i have a deep hesitation buying what he's selling. No doubt he is an awesome speaker...but my concern is that makes him an incredible campaigner but not necessarily a great politician. I love the impact he's having on people. To motivate and inspire a country that desperately needs it is no small feat. But when it's no longer about commercials and speeches, but about getting down to the business of truly effectuating change in a truly hostile Washington environment, i just have no idea if he has what it takes.

POPSHow important are "accidental clicks" to Google? This is an interesting little excerpt from Google's recent filing regarding the impact that accidental clicks have on their revenue growth. If i had to guess, i'd say i've accidentally clicked on 40 google ads in the past year.

POPSSilicon Valley? How about Solar Valley! Just another indication of how fast the momentum behind alternative energy is picking up steam. If the government extends tax credits for wind and solar, i think this industry is in for a very long bull market.

POPSHow to be an agent of change in politics An interesting perspective on whether one can bring about change in politics by compromising or by being tough. The entire article is pretty interesting...and, for what it's worth, pretty in line with my views on Obama and Clinton.

POPSWill Obama re-brand America? I think this is the primary reason for the massive groundswell that looks likely to land Obama in the White House. People are just so dissatisfied with the way America has behaved that we/they are committed to electing someone who is certain to, at the very least, change our perception of ourselves of and the perceptions of those around the world. Given that neither Hillary or McCain seem special enough to expect material change from, I'd say that the 'hope' in Obama is justified and worth a shot.

POPSEli Manning - a great leader I really love the reference to "self-development that is self-assessed." That is very powerful. As a die hard Giants fan, watching Eli rise from goat to hero without ever changing his ways has been very inspiring.

POPSMcCain says he's too busy to vote for stimulus package The whole "straight talk express" campaign of John McCain is so phony. This is just one example, but he is sure to get exposed for who he really is if he wins the republican nomination. I see him having little change against Hillary and absolutely no chance against Obama.

POPSGo Giants!!! As a HUGE fan of the Giants, I just want to show some love and support for the G-Men. Figure a few pops thrown their way just might do the trick :)

POPSThe internet is out! It's really incredible what kind of impact a cut cable can have on the world We have become way to reliant on the web to be at the mercy of a single underground cable.

POPSExporting wind I apologize for posting so many clips about wind power lately, but i've been doing a lot of reading about it and keep coming across bits of information that simply amaze me. The idea that Oklahoma's number one export can soon be wind is fascinating. When you think about it, the entire balance of power in the world has largely been shaped by access to oil. Now we can just import/export wind to create power. Amazing how massive the implications of this could be!
