To the Rescue: Anil Dash on the BPP

Anil Dash, OMG

Anil Dash, one of the world's very very very first bloggers, is coming on the show tomorrow to talk about the Ron Paul-valanche. (Anil, man, thank you.)

If you've never read him, start now. He's seriously smart, and he's seriously got style. Here's Mr. Dash on Google:

Theory of mind is that thing that a two-year-old lacks, which makes her think that covering her eyes means you can't see her. It's the thing a chimpanzee has, which makes him hide a banana behind his back, only taking bites when the other chimps aren't looking.

Theory of mind is the awareness that others are aware, and its absence is the weakness that Google doesn't know it has. This shortcoming exists at a deep cultural level within the organization, and it keeps manifesting itself in the decisions that the company makes about its products and services. The flaw is one that is perpetuated by insularity, and will only be remedied by becoming more open to outside ideas and more aware of how people outside the company think, work and live.

Why? Why so much about Ron Paul? What am I missing? Did he used to work for the Bryant Park Project? Is he related to one of you? No one else I know knows who Ron Paul is.

Doctor Ron Paul is the phenomenon of 2007 and 2008.

The most honest man in Congress deserves your support and coverage.

For: Peace, Prosperity, Liberty.

The NPR audience loves the good Doctor Ron Paul! :)
