Busier than a King's whore come the revolution. Allegedly sending the client's website live the week of the Inauguration. That'll be a hoot.
Went to a client meeting Monday. Couldn't park in the building because the garage was closed. Some sort of government thing. I know Obama isn't staying at the hotel next door, but it could be another VIP I suppose. DC is kind of in chaos at the moment.

 | 10:15 am - Net Neutrality and more!
According to Government Computer News:
President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden have posted a list of technology-related issues the new administration plans to tackle once in office.
The vision statement is on Change.gov, a new Web site set up by the pair's staff to detail the transition plan for the new White House administration.
While many of the initiatives are aimed at bringing about change in the private sector, a few points were aimed at the changing the way that federal agencies use information technology.
Most notably for federal IT execs, the new new administration will appoint a national Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The national CTO, the first in the nation, will work with agency chief information officers and CTOs to share best practices and evaluate new technologies.
"The CTO will ensure the safety of our networks and will lead an interagency effort, working with chief technology and chief information officers of each of the federal agencies, to ensure that they use best-in-class technologies and share best practices," the document states.
The vision document also promises that the new administration will look for ways to bring more transparency to government interactions, particularly those dealing with lobbyists. The National Science Foundation, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Patent Office will also be busy: Basic science funding will be doubled and the patent system will be reformed.
Other initiatives include hastening the roll-out of broadband nationwide, establishing net neutrality and media diversity and developing a set of safeguards for online privacy.
