The digital life of Keith Baker - social media research and development, coding mootools and jquery, geek tech blogging entrepenuer and many things Columbus
I’m really digging how politicians are starting to utilize new media methods to get their message out. Most recently, we’ve heard of Ron Paul’s online money raising that really helped point out the power of the people online. Then we see Obama has emulated the online presence - and they use their staff at hand to help tailor the experience to the potential voter. The undecided voters get one message, the supported get a different set - maybe facebook reminders, tweets, IMs, etc.
Very cool - I’m looking forward to the 2012 elections just to see how much the Internet is involved - maybe they’ll have mobile voting figured out by then, or maybe even electronic voting machines secured!
First, let me say, I do not watch project runway. However, after perusing some of Columbus’ many blogs (like the270.com) I found out one of Columbus’ one is on the show!
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Kelli turned to retail at the age of 15 as a form of escapism and to create a unique look all her own. She fought her way through adversity receiving a full scholarship from Bob Mackie at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise in Los Angeles. Once there, she was accepted into the Advanced Design Program where she was able to design and show a small collection in 2006. Kelly went on to design a guitar for Kevan Hall during Los Angeles Fashion Week and just recently started her own empire, Black Market — a cutting edge boutique in her hometown.
