NASA's CIO - Santa Baby, I’d sit on your lap for a shower cap

At risk of sounding like a total jerk, I'm incredibly disappointed in this blog post and in her being appointed to this position. This post reads way to personal for my tastes. A quick read of her past accomplishments shows a history of government bureaucratic jobs, but I'd like to actually see what she accomplished there.

Unfortunately, this all stinks of a "quick, let's find a social media expert (i.e. Twitter user) and appoint them to the job!" Said "social media expert" then goes and blogs/tweets like a dork and alienates all the people they are supposed to be getting involved - similar to what Scott Monty did for Ford last year. If I was working IT at NASA, I'd hang my head and cry.

NASA is all about scientific research. I'd rather the people there be occasionally creative than be stiflingly corporate.

I know a guy at NASA working on enterprise collaboration strategy and he is pretty sharp. They seem to be headed in the right direction.

I'd think being in government shouldn't disqualify you from having a personality. I like people in my government thank you very much.

I work at NASA, and I like to think that I have a personality...in fact, the center I work at is incredibly relaxed and basically has a collegiate atmosphere.
