    Obama’s Inner Geek: Robots to Flying Marshmallows

    On Tuesday, Obama hosted the second White House Science Fair, an exhibit of more than 30 student projects that ranged from a system to detect nuclear threats to a prosthetic hand to portable disaster shelters. For nearly an hour, Obama toured the displays and visited with students, pressing them for details and admiring their work.

    If you’re not shy about letting Google know about all the websites you visit and how you use them, the company may have a proposition for you.

    So… um… can you? I mean, this is just a title, so I’m not sure it technically counts as a post. Then again, it shows up on a list of posts. It all depends on whether having text that is not a title requires a different or more powerful sort of connection than having just a title. But since you haven’t posted any text, I assume that you can’t, which makes this just a title. So the answer is no, you can’t put a whole post from and iphone on a moving train.

    Correction.

    You can’t post a whole post from an iPhone on a moving train.

    That sentence was bothering me.

    Not on a Moving Train.
    Not on a Moving Plane.
    You cannot post them here or there
    You cannot post them anywhere.

    Sorry couldn’t help myself

    You *can* post from a Moving Train, but the text only shows up in the RSS feed for some reason.

    I blog from the elevated #2 subway train in NYC all the time, using a Sprint Treo 755p.

    Also, since the New York City subway used a “cut and cover” method of construction, one can usually get a decent signal on the platforms, as the track is only ten feet or so below ground.

    For the RSS impaired, what Matt posted was:

    “It’s only letting me write this “excerpt,” instead of the main text of the blog post. So let’s see what happens when I try. I should go back now and write this as a “note” in case it crashes but I am too lazy. Feeling slightly sick from typing this on the bumpy moving 10:35 Amtrak from San Diego to LA. Seem to be writing in dying person’s last words Twitter speak. First Comic-Con with iPhone. Much easier. Text friends all day. Still remember being at Con and having to run back to room all the time to check messages in hotel room. Posting now. Let’s see if this works.”

    It shows up fine in the RSS feed, just not here. You guys have got to discipline your webmonkey-butlers.
