OK, I swear this time I'm going to write more. If my wife can find time to blog and still has time to be with the baby and do a full time job, then so can I. Bloggers are a funny lot. They (and I say they because I am [obviously] not a good blogger, as my blog goes for a few days without…
If you have't seen the new White House government site, I have to say that Obama's web guys know what they're doing.
