With all the Obamarama fever around here, it's easy to forget that the race for president is still tight.

Here's a terrific video produced for FreeGeek Chicago, which is . . .

"a not-for-profit community organization that recycles used computers and parts to provide functional computers, education, internet access and job skills training to the underserved communities of Chicago in exchange for community service."

Any takers?

Call me at 617-661-6900 and let's see if we can get something started here in Cambridge . . . I'm serious.
