Although President-Elect Obama is still a couple months away from moving into his new white home – he has wasted no time in moving to a new interweb home at change.gov. It’s listed as the website for the Office of the President-Elect and houses a variety of president-elect content. It’s essentially the offspring of a presidential campaign site and whitehouse.gov. What I find most interesting about this is the slight social focus of the site.

We’ll start Top 5 with John Durbin. He asked Dan Buczaczer his Top 5 Albums of 1998:

As I once heard in a little known historical drama film called “Fight Club” – “I felt like destroying something beautiful.” In Kilimanjaro Magazine’s “Teddy Killers” piece – they’re destroying something… cute? The feature (project? thingamabob?) provides exactly what you’d think it would – rather beautiful footage of teddy bears being blown to bits. I really really love this, and I’m not sure what that says about me. (And kudos to you if you get the reference in the headline)

Our very own gPhone addict Matt Story is constantly extolling the virtues of his new baby, the T-Mobile G1. For the uninformed – the G1 is the first phone to use Google’s “open source” phone OS named Android. This has been a busy couple of weeks for the Android platform. Most importantly, this week hackers were able to – allowing anyone and everyone (who is nerdy enough) to peer into the platform’s innards and do all kinds of fun stuff. Jailbreaking the iPhone allowed users to load custom apps nearly a year before there was the App Store – so a jailbroken G1 can only mean good (or at least interesting) things. I’ve got to think that from now on – no marginally advanced phone OS is going to be free from being “jailbroken.” More G1 news after the jump…

Sure, Obama has not been subtle in channeling Abraham Lincoln- from announcing his candidacy in Springfield right up to quoting him in his acceptance speech.

Think this is going too far, but a provocative piece of art nonetheless.
