I am very tempted to get the ‘B’ version of these Helvetica alphabet shirts.

Here’s a little nugget from Aaron Swartz on the Presidential campaign:

Obama’s Next Move (Aaron Swartz’s Raw Thought): “McCain’s plans have been the most nutzoid right-wing proposals: end employer-paid health care, permanent bases in Iraq, tax cuts for the rich, and head-in-the-sand about energy. They’re big juicy targets. But so far, Obama has been incompetent about going after them. Whenever his ads begin talking about issues, they suddenly switch into policy-wonk mode and begin using so many long words that even I don’t understand what he’s going on about. And when they criticize John McCain they just seem like they’re making stuff up. To win, Obama’s ads will have to make the issues sexy — he’ll have to find a way to make talking about policy entertaining.”

Quite right. It would be nice to see O follow up his latest ad hitting back at John McCain with substance. But the cynic in me says that substance doesn’t win Presidential campaigns. (See: 2000, 2004.)

I’ve been playing with Journler for the last 20 min, and I’d recommend all you ‘knowledge workers’, GTD-ers, or just about anyone using a Mac who has stuff to keep track of. good stuff.
