I’ve never seen a candidate motivate so many people. It is liberating to see people of all ages, races, and geography standing up in unison.

Everyone’s talking about IP TV and how it’s going to revolutionize things. We’ll be able to get our TV anywhere, any way, but the reality has fallen short of the promise. Your ISP may be beaming Digital channels down to you over IP, but the experience is largely unique to your ISP. Your cable box is not a TV Content browser, no matter how much it tries to be. Heck, you can’t even take your Time Warner Cable box and easily connect it to a Comcast user’s home. The spirit of the IP in IPTV is sorely missing.

Even though it’ll be a rough couple of years, the high price of gas and oil is already bringing about some change.
You see, in America, and much of the rest of the world, energy is currency. Without rehashing the standard chain at length: oil is gas, it is jet fuel, and it is used to transport, grow, heat, light, build just about everything.
Here’s the interesting thing that’s happened in the last 15 or so years, Read the rest of this entry »
