Startup cofounder lives with his website users

Corporate bureaucracy is a creative vacuum.

I used it to visit the south of japan and it was a really nice experience... I kind of like the more voluntary less commercial atmosphere of the community at couch surfing.

As far as I know the youth ball tickets aren't available yet. The ticketing process for the balls is quite mysterious. I received an e-mail earlier from the Obama campaign to pre-order ball tickets but the youth ball wasn't listed. Currently I'm under the assumption that tickets will be at door, or available for purchase a day or two in advance.

Many were upset over the whole "Supreme Court Election" thing, but once that debacle was over, it was business as usual.

There was not this much hoopla for the 2000 inauguration. This is likely due to the dragged out election ultimately stolen by the supreme court, and that it was yet another white guy assuming the role of the presidency.

This inauguration is historic for severeal reasons, the most obvious one being that it's the first time the United States has elected an African American. Second, it's hopefully a clean break from the devastation of the past eight years. Finally, this is the first election where the electorate has an intimate role with the election process whether it be through web 2.0, or unprecedented volunteer efforts. Because of this it's likely that millions of people feel as if they played a significant role in helping to elect Barack Obama.
