Wasting time on the internet is one of the unexpected benefits of this new life. It's easy to resist it, but I enjoy following people's rants and contortions as they battle with modern consumerist dilemmas.
And the election of Obama has set a lot of things alight. ISPs must be desperately trying to buy more storage to accommodate the blizzard of posts/rants/petitions and all that has sprung up in the last couple of days.
These are links to positive things. There are also a load of blogs expressing deep dismay and fear over what Obama will bring. I'll try to find a few worth reading - but really I'm supposed to be working.
A petition to Obama
Dig up the white house lawn
And here is an American tied in knots trying to understand what is going on and what it means to him
And here is an open letter from Alice Walker (author of such as "The Color Purple") to Obama. I like this because of how it expressed what his victory means to so many, but also her wisdom, understanding and insight into what leadership is. (and also the comment about smiles of scissors - fantastic imagery).
