The Obama administration openly sponsoring the development of software tools to assist pro-democracy protesters. This seems amazing on so many levels: foreign policy, human rights, grass roots organizing, and app development, all rolled into one.

Something inspiring coming out of Washington: pinch me. Here's hoping some good comes of the effort!
