Kiki’s Korner

This weekend confirmed everything I thought about my Canadian friends…they all ROCK…and I am super thankful I had a chance to spend a little more face:face time with them at Northern Voice.

It was the first time I made it up North for this event, missing the two years before due to ill timing bouts with the flu bug, and boy oh boy am I glad I got a shot this year. The weekend was filled with great dinners, amazing conversations and enough geekiness to be able to write the trip off as a work expense. Ha.

Seriously, I don’t know if it is the Canadian water or the fresh air coming off Whistler mountain that makes Vancouverans so darn nice, but thinking every city could use a little bit of what they have as every time I am around these guys, I want – scratch that – I need, more.

I am in the process of moving my blog from Blogger to Wordpress so things might look a little wacky here for a while. Just thought you, whoever you are, should know.

I rarely throw my hat in the ring when it comes to politics, but the 2008 Presidential race has stirred so many raw emotions in me that I have found myself standing on my podium time and time again.And what am I saying while standing on my podium? Obama ftw.Senator Obama ramps me up me very time I hear him speak. So fluid. So passionate. Seems so in tune with America. No BS. No flash. Solid. When I look at the candidate options for the new leader of America, there is no doubt in my mind that Obama is the right choice.So when the request came from Daily Kos to donate $5.01 to Obama’s campaign today, I jumped at it. The idea is to show the power of the ‘every day person’, that a lot of little contributions can, and do, make a difference. So if you can spare a couple of Lincolns to Obama’s campaign on Lincoln’s birthday (today 02/12/08), make your donations here.Photo by: Daily Kos
