As with all new presidencies, there is a time of transition as one administration takes over the work of another.   Apparently President Obama is having some tech issues.

 
Two years after launching the most technologically savvy presidential campaign in history, Obama officials ran smack into the constraints of the federal bureaucracy yesterday, encountering a jumble of disconnected phone lines, old computer software, and security regulations forbidding outside e-mail accounts…

“It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said of his new digs.

I had to jump on here and post this quickly.  It’s a commercial for the upcoming Viva Pinata game.  For those of you who aren’t in the know Viva Pinata is a strategy game in which you try to raise Pinata shaped animals and a garden for them to live in.  It’s a fun game and the sequel looks to be just a s good as the original.  If you’ve never seen any of the Halo 3 promotional videos you may want to watch this one first.
