Yes, McCain and Obama need to turn their attention to the crisis, but can McCain not multi-task? Isn't that somethign that is going to be required of the President. You'll have a TON of crisis, constantly. Comes with the job. - Dan Harbison

Obama should say something like "With modern technology such as email and cellphones, i have been able to both prepare to debate, AND keep in touch with leaders in washington on this crisis" - Glenn Batuyong

"A president should be able to multitask." unofficial Obama response - Bill Koslosky
I remember learning to use Adobe Illustrator back in 1989. It is one of those apps that totally changed how I looked at computer graphics. But is there any app today that requires such a steep learning curve? Anyway, in my attempt to make my blog more useful, I'm going to try to learn something new every day. What should we learn together? - Robert Scoble
Learn the exact color of the sky at sundown. Not just "orange" or "pink" but go through all the colors and find the best matches. Then, we would have an even better description of what colors it is when the sun goes down near our homes. Yes, completely non tech and nothing at all to do with the web but..you asked what we should learn and, everyone can do that. - Candace Holly
Bob- how about XNA Game Studio Express, let's make games? - Ryan
Iain: tomorrow we're going on a photowalk at about noon at San Francisco's Ferry Building with Thomas Hawk. We're also having Buzz Bruggeman on WorkFast.TV at 10 a.m. I hear he'll teach me some new stuff. - Robert Scoble
I'd like to learn Episodic, but it's beta is still invite only. - Brian Ries
Candace: in Half Moon Bay? Easy: gray. - Robert Scoble
The meaning of life. Then share it with the rest of us :) - Tim
Booo! Now look at all the shades of the color and find the names of those shades..I'm sure there's some blues and other colors in there. @Tim; 42 - Candace Holly
Learn how to add Disqus to your blog so that you can start responding to comments via e-mail when you're remote? - Robert Seidman
Good call, Dan Harbison. I started Mandarin about 5 weeks ago. Everyday is another challenge and I'm lovin' every minute of it. - Christopher Harley
Robert: I'm scared of Disqus and other centralized commenting systems. I'll discuss that on my blog soon. - Robert Scoble
I think one of the best things to learn these days is how to give back to the community. I find it too often where companies are only interested in themselves and not their employees or customers. Cause marketing should be a key initiative for every company. Not just a monetary donation but get your employees and customers involved. It changes the whole culture in a long-term positive effect. Which cause do you support? - Randy Ksar
what is Google up to with Knol? Also learn all about the new Open-source initiatives, like Bill Katz’s *Bloog* app based on Google App Engine...this is a new GAE based blogging platform http://bloog.billkatz.com/? - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Scoble: I hate to intrude, but any chance I could meet up with you and Thomas tomorrow for the photowalk? I work a few blocks away from the Ferry Building. I've been dying to meet both of you and I can't imagine a better place/way. If not, totally cool, but I thought I would ask :) - Justin Korn
@Randy couldn't agree more. A friend and I had a discussion recently about things he's doing to try to give back more as well as inspire others to do the same and he's also written about it (http://snurl.com/34bd8). Doesn't always have to be the next great wizbang tech gadget to feel good and inspired. - Ron Emrick
how to narrow your focus for a while - Dave Coustan
How to cook something different than what you would usually eat. It's fun, useful and you can blog about it. - Steven Perez
@Robert I think I'm going to print "What should I learn today?" in 72pt type on some nice paper and hang it in my home office. - ha3rvey
Disqus is one of the few programs that scares me, not just figuring out where/how to add the code but also what the consequences might be if I did. Yesterday I finally figured out how to successfully add G Analytics code to Blogger and Typepad for the 1st time, that was tough enough to start. - Sally Church
Sweet! Just realized I didn't contribute to the thread... Learn: I feel we are kind of lingering in web 2.0. What is the next step? What should/is 3.0 going to look like? (edit: Just realized this is probably another thread and not a learn topic...doh!) - Justin Korn
Learn about the semantic web and linked data. That way if you can explain it and deem it worthy, people may listen. - Rob Diana
learn about something out of your element - Anna Haro
google analytics and how accurate it actually is in determining trafficking trends and weather or not the data can be corrupted or manipulated by hackers and software. - Chris Conway
Learn something non-technical but useful, like how to fix a running toilet or how to change your oil in the car. - Andrew Leyden
Robert -- you should take a well-deserved vacation from learning for a day or two. :) You have one of the most ferociously inquisitive and acquisitive minds for new knowledge I've encountered on or off the net. You're making me feel lazy and sluggish. - Sean McBride
How to get like, 50 comments in one hour. Oh wait. You figured that one out. - Josh Haley
oopml or whatever the heck that file is - Gregory Lent
Learn how to edit video. Learn about cinematic composition. Learn about how the best interviewers get the best interviews. Then practice it all with your video capturing passion! - Gib
Slightly different twist on Tony's suggestion, MIT just posted their Toy Product Design course. Explore that with your son (if he would find it interesting) - http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mech... - Casey
@Andrew - if you don't know those things at your age ... - Ivan Pope

“Scoble says FriendFeed is going to rule. Arrington says it's too late to beat Twitter. I dunno. I do hear crickets when I come here... anyone reading?”
Good aggregator, needs a better way to find my friends though. I haven't found all the right people to subscribe to. I follow a lot of really active people drown out some of the people I want to know about. ...via AlertThingy - Dan Harbison
Plus, you HAVE to use something like AltertThingy or Twhrl... to have to login, or even use an RSS Reader is waay to manual. ...via AlertThingy - Dan Harbison
