Pssst....the Air Force may be watching...pass it on...

From Air Force Link (courtesy GovExec.com):

6/29/2006 - ARLINGTON, Va. (AFPN) -- The Air Force Office of Scientific Research has begun funding a new research area that includes a study of blogs. Blog research may provide information analysts and warfighters with invaluable help in fighting the war on terrorism. Drs. Brian Ulicny, senior scientist, and Mieczyslaw Kokar, president, Versatile Information Systems Inc., Framingham, Mass., will receive approximately $450,000 in funding for the three-year project titled, "Automated Ontologically-Based Link Analysis of International Web Logs for the Timely Discovery of Relevant and Credible Information."

In keeping with my new Truth in Press Releases Initiative, I will translate for you - "Air Force paying $450,000 to company to read blogs."

Something most of us do for free.

Hmmm...maybe some of us should join forces and incorporate. That company has the Air Force contract sewn up, but the Army, Navy, Marines and even Coast Guard are still ripe for the picking...lol.

...Anyone who is attending the fireworks show in Tempe tomorrow is invited to stop by the voter registration booth sponsored by the Arizona Democratic Party. Besides registering to vote, visitors can speak to the many candidates who will be volunteering their time to assist at the booth. Also, many of the campaigns will have separate booths for you to visit and speak to the candidates.

So arrive early (gates open at 4), find a good seat for the fireworks, and meet the candidates.

Have a great 4th!!
