a moderated blogosphere of internet experts 
I like to play poker; I like to write about poker. For me, it�s great that online poker is a multibillion-dollar industry and that there are hundreds of online poker rooms that can be found on the Web -- though in the U.S., gambling laws limit your options.
While analysts vie to outdo each other apotheosizing wireless Internet's influence in politics, and companies selling political mobile Internet services pop up like moldy mushrooms, I look at the U.S. elections and think: So far, yawn.
Although I'm ecstatic over many of the winners (blue is my favorite political color), there has been way too much hype about wireless Internet's value in 2008.
My most recent trauma (I restrict myself here to business-related issues) had to do with an article I recently wrote that was rejected by a regional business magazine. The topic was interesting: the future of the area�s data storage companies. What was the employment outlook? Will existing companies survive in these trying times?
Like many Americans, I was mesmerized by Tuesday night's election coverage. At one point in the evening, CNN declared victory for a U.S. Senator I had never heard of. I did a quick search and was amazed to discover that Wikipedia had already been updated to reflect this re-election.
Could online games solve the world's problems?
