Distinctive events

Let see, what the world has been about while I was tolling away in the office...

First is the inauguration of Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, probably one of the candidate with the most technology savvy, human engaging campaign I have seen so far. The message of HOPE and CHANGE came across clearly and the grass root movement was just admirable. This poor guy comes to the office in one of the worst situation ever, counting in bad international reputation, wars, questionable human right practice, and a globally crippling financial crisis. While he managed to fight for his crackberry, everyone is holding their breaths waiting for Obama to perform his magic. I say just wait and see. If this guy really can speak slang Jakarta, then he can't be that bad ;-)

Second would be how the super human, 8 Olympic medals winner, Michael Phelps got caught in bad publicity due to a photo of him bonging to la-la land, was published. Suspended for 3 months and lost deal with Kellogs, he is in the publicity ugly side. I gave out a relief sigh. Finally he is acting like a 23 years old dude that he is and it also explains his inhuman calories intake everyday. Hey this guy struggled and practiced everyday to get where he is. Cut him some slack yeah? He isn't harming anyone.

Third, remember the opening position advertised as one of the best job in the world ever? You know, a job where you can spend your day lounging about in a sandy beach and blog about it? Part of the Australia tourism campaign, the news of this job has been popularly circulating around the WWW community. Obviously this will attract some eccentric crowd to apply for it. Anyway, I have to applause this prankster that edited bits of Bin Laden's video and turned it into a video application! Enjoy!
