(Ha, made you look.) You know we don’t choose sides, people. So don’t count on us to tell you who to vote for (wouldn’t that be frightening?). But, we are here to offer a little comic relief on the political reality that is ELECTION YEAR. We’ve already grown weary of the campaigning. If you’re among us then take a spoof at this.

We’ve done a little homework on our candidates young, old and in between and here’s what we’ve come up with…

Things, people or geographic regions that are YOUNGER than John McCain (from this nice little find):

LSD, The Cobb Salad, Defibrillation (on people), The Golden Gate Bridge, The Chocolate Chip Cookie, Scientology, The Slinky, SPAM, Kodachrome, Pat Buchanan, Alaska & Hawaii, Plutonium, Bugs Bunny, The Beav, Both of Barack Obama’s parents, The Polio Vaccine (whoa!), McDonald’s, AARP, Dick Cheney, Mount Rushmore, Teflon, and Israel.

Things or people that are OLDER than Barack Obama:

Franklin Pierce when he took office (6th youngest President ever elected), NBC Nightly News, My parents, Drayton Towers, OPEC, Sputnik, John Kennedy, Jr., Pat Sajak, Gabrielle Carteris (that’s right, from Beverly Hills 90210), Georgia Clooney, Michael J. Fox, Woody Harrelson, Toby Keith, Dennis Rodman, Scott Baio (ok, not really older, but they are only 4 months apart), and…Chris Miller!

On May 21st at the SEDA/TCCa offices at high-noon, we will be facilitating a blogging panel made up of the area’s preeminent bloggers (read: YOU), on behalf of one of our most favorite-ist new young companies, Balaya.

If that weren’t enough, we’ll even buy you lunch and give you a comfy chair to sit in.

Balaya. Together. Wherever.

Hopefully, many of have heard of a great new company we’ve helped out named Balaya. You may have even attended their announcement we hosted last November where we celebrated the news that their corporate headquarters would be in Savannah. (Hooray!)

Balaya provides advanced web applications that help members of any group communicate and collaborate more effectively from desktops and mobile devices.  What’s even cooler is that SmackDab Studios (another company we’ve given relocation love to) is developing their flagship product. Gotta love that domino effect.

Tick-it™, it’s like email but sucks less

More to the point, their flagship product, appropriately dubbed “Tick-it™ ” links groups of all types – from families & friends to organizations, project teams & companies, via a ticker that resides right on your desktop, laptop or mobile phone. It’s kinda like a CNN news ticker, only instead of national news, it’s the latest news/info from your friends, family, whoever.

We had a great turnout at cSpot yesterday. Thanks to everyone who stopped by for some good beer, great BBQ and lively conversation. To those who didn’t make it, check out a few pics.  Hope to see you next time!
