Helvetica » A Font We Can Believe In: A quick (but interesting) look at the font chosen by the Obama campaign.

Extend Your Brain With Evernote (Private Beta Invites): Interesting startup that does OCR on images that you submit. I haven't played with this yet, but I'll be curious to check it out when it launches proper.

Daily Kos: I Refuse to Buy into the Obama Hype (now a supporter): A long blog post that compares the bills introduced into congress by both Obama and Clinton last year - the examiniation is quite thorough, but worth readying, and exemplifies why I think that Obama is the right choice.

HP's UMPC 2133 revealed - Engadget: This looks pretty cool - like the Asus Eee PC, but with beefier specs (if the rumor holds true). I'm going to keep my eye on this - if the price is low enough, it could be a fun toy.

Pitchfork: Portishead's Third Gets Tracklist, New Release Dates: Yeah baby. April 29th is the date when the new Portishead album drops in the US. It is totally on my calendar.
