VA's Tech Sec Named Nation's CTO
As if having the first Hawaii-born President (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_life_and_career_of_Barack_Obama) wasn't wonderful enough, now the nation has it's first Chief Technology Officer (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Weekly-Address-President-Obama-Discusses-Efforts-to-Reform-Spending-Government-Waste-Names-Chief-Performance-Officer-and-Chief-Technology-Officer/), and it's Aneesh Chopra (http://www.technology.virginia.gov/OfficeInfo/chopraBio.cfm), Secretary of Technology of my current home of Virginia. Chopra has a background in health care, so I suspect he will be the point man on the President's initiative to digitize medical records. This also bodes well for those of us who rely on advanced medical technology for our livelihoods (if not our lives). For more info, check out the O'Reilly Radar's (http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/04/aneesh-chopra-great-federal-cto.html) rich write-up on Chopra's accomplishments.
