Life: Imagine the Potential
Beautiful ad, and though I still have no idea who CatholicVote.com are, this is a fantastic introduction.

I'm trying to keep the politics to a minimum here, but I keep seeing ads for the so-called "Employee Free Choice Act" and have to speak up. This is the worst name I've seen for a bill since the "PATRIOT" act. There's absolutely nothing about preserving free choice in the bill, which in the words of George McGovern "strips working Americans of the right to a secret-ballot election" opening them up to "intimidation and coercion" from union bosses.
Kicking off a new series of posts about things I like (or love), let’s take a look at Yammer.
Yammer is an enterprise version of Twitter, creating company-specific private networks based on a common email address domain. Where twitter asks one simple question “What are you doing?” Yammer asks “What are you working on?”
As employees answer that question, a feed is created in one central location enabling co-workers to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links and other information.
Other employees can subscribe to tags (any word prefixed with #) or chose coworkers they wish to follow, managing the stream of updates relevant to them. By keeping up with Yammer, employees can see what everyone else in the company is talking about over the past 24 hours, week, or month. Yammer has a lot more functionality that I haven’t explored yet, including public and private groups within the company network, image and file attachments, and more interface clients than anyone could possibly use.
You can send and receive updates via IM, SMS, Email, iPhone, BlackBerry, Desktop, Browser Plugin, or directly on the Yammer.com website.
It’s beautifully subversive, since employees sign up and create the network on their own, and after achieving critical mass the company has an option to “claim” their network and start paying to exert additional control.
The quality of any collaborative creative endeavor tends to approach the level of taste of whoever is in charge.
Years of rising taxes, dead-end schools, unchecked illegal immigration and clogged traffic have robbed the Golden State of its allure.

P.S. For everybody I don't know... stay out of Colorado. We don't need you bringing the stupid here and ruining another paradise.
No wonder the country is bankrupt. Some moron made a paper trimmer with ipod dock and tried to sell it for $99. If you bought this, or would consider buying this, please consider voluntary sterilization instead.
This dude is gonna have to die, if we're to survive as a people.
