I've been following Barack Obama for about as long as I've written Have Fun * Do Good: • I wrote about his podcast in September 2005: Obama's podcasts and Clinton's version of Slamdance. Saw him speak in 2007: Obama in Oakland. • And saw him speak again in 2008 at the September 11 Presidential Forum on Service.

NOVEMBER 13, 2008

In June of 2007, nearly over 35% of Facebook traffic came the 18-24 year old segment, compared to around 22% in June 2008. I listened to a podcast that featured Christian Mayaud in which he described PAN CAN FAN. And that's the way I've operated. However, that never seemed to work all that well, and I think I've figure it out.

By summer of 2007, when I left the Spy Museum to move to California, the blog was a big deal. Heroes I admired from afar became friends and mentors.
