World Leader Reflex Tests

Will Chuck-The-Shoe-At-The-World-Leader be an Olympic sport in the years ahead? Since finishing with dinner this evening, I've found no less than three flash games and a compendium of animated GIF satires.

Shoe Attack On President Already Turned Into A Crappy Flash Game (Kotaku)
Sock and Awe
The Bush Game
Iraq Shoe Tosser Guy: The Animated Gifs (Boing Boing)

I bet Jon Stewart is pissed that this had to happen two days before his last show of the year. There's still a month left for more Dubya foibles, cut the vacation short Stewart! In the meantime, keep it safe kids.

Technorati

Who?

I'm Ian Kallen. I'm an entrepreneur and technologist working on Blockboard. My technical interests are focused on mobile, location, cloud computing, big data, real time event systems, search, devops and agile web application code. I'm a long time open source enthusiast and enjoy right-sizing code architecture and infrastructure with the scope and stage a technology startup is operating at.

Previously, I was an independent technology consultant. Prior to that, I did a long stint with Technorati leading the Core Services engineering group in architecting a backend to support search and exploring the web as it changes in real time. I have an eclectic background in technology, publishing, social software and ... life. I like to think: well rounded. I have been online participating in virtual communities since 1988 and developing online resources, services and systems as well as enterprise software since 1991. Once in a while, I have time and inspiration to blog.

The views expressed here are not necessarily those of any present or past employers. KTHXBAI
