In an effort to take Tim’s advice…here’s my odd, out of left field post.\u00a0 It will come as no surprise to readers of this blog and people who know me that I’m pretty liberal.\u00a0 It’s a label I proudly wear.\u00a0 So, it probably also comes as know surprise that I’m a huge fan of Rachel Maddow.\u00a0 I tune in almost every night to her show<\/a>.\u00a0 If you haven’t, give it a try.\u00a0 She’s smart, funny, and sarcastic, and an antidote to the often harsh rhetoric we hear from both sides.\u00a0 (As an aside, I’m not a fan of Keith Olberman…he’s a little too mean for me.)<\/p>\n

One of my favorite features is Rachel’s Moment of Geek when she highlights interesting events in science and technology.\u00a0 Even if you can’t stomach Rachel, these features are fun with no seeming political bias.\u00a0 You can view them at her web site or if you prefer not to have that in your computer memory, check out YouTube.\u00a0 One of my favorite was about the Google camera car that takes pictures for street view:<\/p>\n
