Do you think he’ll abandon it now that he’s won?

Is it all just photo op moments for him? fritz, why do you think the mayor refused to sign the recycling petition? if he is really for the environment, why not? mac vs pc? so many contradictions. what’s your take?

See what kind of marketing move for Otis that was? That Apple (his or not) increased his likability and coolness factor by major points! Mayor Weiner was never that cool! (Gosh, I do miss all the jokes and puns with her name.) I like this site and I love and miss Savannah. WOW! See what kind of marketing move for Otis that was?

I am a mac user (have been since the late '80s) - they are the best! Hey, kudos to you for pointing out Parallels. I can think of many more things my Mac does that my "at-work" PC does not do (most importantly: make me smile). Heee heee To the issue: If more politicians blogged and made themselves "accessible", people may like them more. Fitz:

Rest assured, the rest of the Creative Coast office are all avid users of PC’s and regularly ridicule me for my recent (and admittedly clichéd) defection. Absolutely, different strokes for different folks.

P.S. Although, as far as things that your mac won’t do that your PC will…that’s what Parallels is for. ;)

There are things that my Mac won't do that my PC will do. And of course vice versa. Different strokes for different folks, eh?

I'm surprised that more politicians haven't started their own blog. They can talk directly to their voters. The mayor told me that’s not his computer. He’s a PC guy.

I am pleased to know that he and/or his staff are connecting to those in the blog-o-sphere and beyond. Are there any other Mayor's following this trend? That would be interesting to know! Cheers to Mayor Johnson and company! I think it’s fantastic that Otis has the wherewithal to start talking to the community directly (at least in theory).
