Yesterday someone very special to me died.
As I struggled to put into words what she meant to me, someone offered their condolences and said &#8220;now, she is a Guardian Angel that has been added to your team&#8221;.
In fact, she was a Guardian Angel from the moment I met her.
I am who I am because of [...]]]></description>

Yeah, you read that right. Blackbird: African American web browser.
First thought &#8212; Totally ignored it when I got the link.
Some consider me a go-to-person on the web regarding Black folks, technology and social media. After several requests for thoughts and jokes about the browser, I thought I&#8217;d officially add my 2 cents.

**********
We all hate stereotypes, but unfortunately
there is some truth to some of them.
I heard about the Ashley Todd yesterday but didn&#8217;t mention the story because I knew she was lying immediately after reading the full story.
Ashley Todd, a McCain volunteer said that she was mugged and that the assailant carved a &#8220;B&#8221; into her face [...]]]></description>

Yes, you read that right. I have to give props when they are due and John McCain definitely deserves them for selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate.
I&#8217;ve talked to several Obama supporters and they&#8217;re all disappointed that their DNC bubble has burst. Most agree that his choice complicates things, but they feel that Obama [...]]]></description>
