Barack Obama Wants You to Have Cupcakes!
My friend Bryan Leblanc turned me on to this little bit of absurd political geniusness: BarackObamaIsYourNewBicycle.com. How do you take the effortless charisma and implied linked goodwill of the possible next President of the US and translate it to the web? Simple, just think of those things that make you feel good, and have them all start with Obama.
Apparently, he made me a mixtape.
As a side note, a lot of these cute messages imply a sort of friendly connectedness and do so by referencing Facebook actions or other tech-related items, which I thought was interesting. Whenever I get asked (it's more like accused, really) by people about how the Internet may be reducing our ability to create "real connections" with each other, I always like to point out how many of us use our on-line social networks to provide little bursts of joy to a large group of people in a way that is just impossible off-line. In fact, the aforementioned Barack site was Bryan's status update today, so there you go.

Barack Obama came to see my play and then after it was finished, he recited a poem that reminded him of you, Max Valiquette.
You're smart. Keep it up.
