“I am… ask me anything”

My son Nate only introduced me to reddit.com’s “I am, ask me anything” threads a couple of days ago, and today I discovered that President Obama answered some questions this afternoon. I’m fascinated by this medium, which is pretty wide open and accessible. There are some really interesting “IAmA’s,” as they’re called, up on the site. Dan Harmon, for instance, creator of the sitcom Community, answered questions there. And Frank Rich, formerly of the NYTimes, is scheduled to be there tomorrow (August 30).
