On Wednesday, Apple is expected to unveil a product that will be, among other things, a competitor to Amazon&#8217;s Kindle. That will be a crucial test for Apple, and for society. If the company lives up [...]]]></description>

In its own way, this story is about government efficacy and information sharing, so it&#8217;s not totally out of place on my site.

		<description><![CDATA[Around this time yesterday, I, along with countless others, tried to bring down the Web sites of Iran&#8217;s information and justice ministries, and state-sponsored media outlets. The idea was to silence the pro-Ahmadenijad, anti-dissent messages coming from these outlets, and in so doing, strengthen the opposition protests in Tehran.

In the aftermath of Thursday&#8217;s virtual White House town hall, most of us in the tech-politics arena have been pondering one question: How do we improve upon this system to create a better virtual democracy experience?

That&#8217;s gotta be a record, because government software procurement is a nightmare. For a single piece of software, it probably takes 30 days just to write the RFP&#8211;Request for Proposals, a document that explains what the government wants and how much they&#8217;ll pay for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I started blogging for Personal Democracy Forum. I&#8217;ll have a couple of posts there per week. My first one is on the White House email backup system&#8212;which sounds totally boring at first, but is actually kind of interesting (and important, of course).
You can track my PDF posts here, and here&#8217;s the RSS feed.
