Barack Obama starts blog

How cool is this? Illinois senator Barack Obama (you may remember him as "that guy who got all that press at the Democratic National Convention") has started a blog. There's only two entries at it at this point, but both were written by Mr. Obama himself; it'll be interesting, I think, to follow the blog and see if he continues penning entries, or eventually hands it off to an aide. (Thanks to Chicagoist.com for pointing this out.)
