Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama, the next and 44th President of the United States of America. What an amazing campaign!

I’m proud of North Carolina which just barely made it blue. Early in the night Obama was leading and then suddenly he started loosing the margin before McCain took over the lead. But with 1 percent of precincts left to report, Obama pulled through!

I am surprised, however, that Missouri went to McCain (although Obama lost be a very small margin). Since 1904 Missouri has voted consistently with the winning candidate, except in 1946 when they voted for Adlai Stevenson instead of Dwight Eisenhower. In 2008 Missourians have once again gotten it wrong, supporting McCain, instead of the winning cadidate Barack Obama.

I think overall its been an amazing and historic election. I’m very proud of this country and look forward to the future of this great country! Yes We Can!

Obama ‘08 – Vote For Hope from MC Yogi on Vimeo.

I came across this video promoting Obama the other day. I found it to be well made and the motion graphics are pretty awesome. It was created by MC Yogi, produced by Robin Livingston, and animated by James Curtis.

It has already received over 5000 diggs on digg.com.

FreeRice.comSo I discovered a new website via Facebook the other day called FreeRice.com. Its a new creative vocabulary game, started on October 7th, 2007, that donates 10 grains of rice through United Nations to help end world hunger.

It’s indeed one of the most creative ideas that I’ve seen on the internet. FreeRice is a simple concept, yet it yields great benefits. Not only are you, well, improving your vocabulary, you are also making a huge difference to those who receive the rice. And FreeRice.com runs the site at no profit. All the rice is paid for by the advertisers seen at the bottom of the page.

Visit FreeRice.com and read the FAQ.

UPDATE [Nov 28, 2007]: FreeRice.com now donates 20 grains of rice for each correct word.
