Rebooting America

Rebooting America: Ideas for Redesigning American Democracy for the Internet Age is an anthology of essays put together by the folks at Personal Democracy Forum. The central theme is using technology to improve government and politics. The writers are people you've heard of -- or people you should know about. You can download the book or buy a hard copy here.

If you want to follow this stuff on a daily basis, TechPresident is a good place to start.

Last summer, I tried to sum up a lot of the questions and predictions about net politics in the 2008 election. I'm working now on the next iteration of that ongoing project, which should appear in October.

Public events were suspended and residents donned face masks as concern grew over the outbreak.
Health experts say tests so far seem to link it with a new swine flu virus that sickened eight in the southern US.
US experts said they were taking the virus seriously and working to learn as much as possible about it.
But both the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) said that there was no need at this point to issue travel advisories for parts of Mexico or the US.
In Geneva, the WHO said an emergency committee would likely convene over the weekend. It said it had prepared "rapid containment measures" in case they were needed.
In the US, the White House said it was monitoring events.
