SuperGeekery: A blog probably of interest only to nerds by John F Morton.

This morn­ing, Hillary Clin­ton offi­cial­ly announced her pres­i­den­tial ambi­tions. My impres­sion is that Hillary Clin­ton a real­ly smart per­son, who is def­i­nite­ly up the dif­fi­cult task of being pres­i­dent of the Unit­ed States. The oth­er can­di­date com­pet­ing for my vote, Barack Oba­ma, also seems like a smart, capa­ble per­son who may also be up for that chal­lenge. (I’m sor­ry, John Edwards, you’re not up to the chal­lenge when com­pet­ing against these two.) But who… + read on

I have until June to fig­ure out how I get out of my Ver­i­zon Wire­less con­tract. That’s 5 months to plan. In case you’re one of the 54 peo­ple who didn’t already know about the iPhone.
