  • Obama meets the Lakers. Keep in mind that the President is about 6' 2".
  • FEMA Director Craig Fugate, whom we interviewed here on modern disaster response, somehow snuck onto Twitter when we weren't looking.
  • ProPublica tracks which federal agencies have pre-met tomorrow's deadline to have an Agency.gov/open website up and running, as per the White House Open Government Directive.
  • Event notice: New York City's New School asks whether unlimited knowledge, in a democracy, can be too much of a good thing.
  • The National Archives builds its Flickr commons.
  • And New York's Big Apps contest names its victors. The winners: an "augmented reality" Android app for finding subway stations, a "Yelp for taxis," and a web guide to the city's many schools. Lesson: New Yorkers care a lot about transportation, and whatever energy is left over they dedicate to their kids.
