Where in the Hell is Matt

Matt Harding travels around the world, dances in various locations, and films it. The first video was released in 2005 and was created to let friends and family know where he was. The video became viral and he obtained a sponsor to do the trip again and the 2nd video was released in 2006. The 3rd video, also sponsored, was just released and differs from the first two - in this one crowds of people are invited to dance with him in many of the locations. Watching it made me feel hopeful - if we really did all come together we could accomplish something great and that we really are all very much alike.

Change Wii Can Believe In

Barack Obama is the Nintendo Wii. He stands for change … something different … almost a revolution. A large part of the Wii’s success has been games that have very simple concepts but yet done in a way that has not been seen before. Obama’s message is of hope and change - simple concepts that we have not seen in politics in a very long time. And although he is currently popular with a variety of demographics it is unknown as to whether his popularity is a passing fad or will have staying power. And as the Wii is the not the powerhouse of consoles and does not have cutting-edge graphics, Obama is inexperienced and it is difficult to determine how he will hold up.

In the Wii’s favor is that Miyamoto is no Reverend Wright.
