Take a dive with BP's spill -- Yuk

Thanks to RepowerAmerica, Al Gore in action on the internet he invented, for tipping me to this new view of the gush.

Gore to endorse at 8:30 p.m.

Al Gore will make his Obama endorsement tonight at 8:30 p.m. from a rally in Detroit. The endorsement will be streamed live on BarackObama.com. Gore has already penned a fundraising email for the campaign.

UPDATE: And here it is. It should be added that Gore risked nothing with this post-nomination endorsement, but it's a nice thing for Barack to have, particularly given Gore's popularity with the Democratic base (including here in "Florida, Florida, Florida" -- with props to the late Tim Russert ...) and his credibility on issues like climate change. Besides, by doing the endorsement in Michigan, Gore helped Barack's team collect maybe 20,000 more Michigan names and email addresses for the November ground game. And that's change we can believe in.

New stuff on TV front

This first one may actually be old, since I see in Wikipedia that it was launched in 2005. This is not bad for me, to be only two years behind. It's Current TV, and for the never-say-die fans of Al Gore, this is his (sorta) network. Different stuff. I liked the Hummer piece on the InfoMania segment, which I found by hitting the "on tv" button. This may be the link. A few items before that is an amazing report about dancing by people with disabilities. It seems to be set in Miami, so I wonder if anyone knows where these super dancers can be found.

Next is a live blogging tool, alerted to me by the Florida Democratic Party tech guy, Phillip Perry, via the FloridaNetroots email round. Have a look at http://coveritlive.com/

And something melding a lot of stuff together is Veridoo. Could be big.
