Here's a bit of peculiarity: Former Vice President Al Gore gave the closing speech at the Technology, Entertainment, and Design conference in Monterey, California. Honestly, my first thought was: Is this because that group believes Gore's wild widely reported claim that he invented the internet? I get it, Al Gore promotes green technology and green technology is important to our future. Still, I wonder if this has something to do with Gore's upcoming role of brokering a peace between various factions at the Democratic National Convention.(see my Feb 29 post) I still find that possibility kind of funny. Al Gore is a peculiar fellow often found in the middle of odd news. I suspect there will be an Odd News Award with his name on it before too long. Tune in for more on this later. I just know that Mr. Gore will provide an opportunity for further discussion.
