Does Spelling Really Count?

From Cambridge University:

Olny srmat poelpe can raed this. I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

I guess not.

Barack O' Bama - His Irish Heritage

Before you start assuming my political views, I'll just say 3 things.

1. I really like Obama and I am anxious to see what he does in his first term.
2. I am Irish, have been to Ireland, and thought this video was funny.
3. I don't care about your politics.



Sing-A-Long - "There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama"

Here's a pic of me and the fam in Ireland:



I want to go back!

My Personal Identity Portal

I haven't used this portal to its fullest (mainly because I haven't read up on all of the functions), but so far I really like the profile carousel.

In my modest efforts to globalize my personal brand, I don't see any value in driving traffic to MY Personal Identity Portal. If I could embed the carousel in my blog or other social profiles, it would be a more useful tool. Visitors could then choose which networks they want to find me on - connect - or just lurk around.

Overall, I like the social network aggregation and I believe it is a step in the right direction.
