Joe Jones from Blog Graham will join Matt Gross (Dean For America) on the US presidential campaign weblogs Day 1 session. Had another talk with the Edwards people, left the door wide open. Still trying to contact Kerry and Kucinich. Any others with blogs? Contacted today by Clark supporters.  8/18/03: Pictures from Bob Graham talk in Manchester. Andrew Grumet is recruiting for the Day 2 infrastructure session. Lessig: The BBC's Lessons for America. Interesting discussion on Ed Cone's blog about the Edwards campaign and BloggerCon. The Thursday night meeting at Berkman is on. In the evening of Day 1 we're having a reception at Norton's Woods at American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Heads-up, my RSS feed is not being updated today. I know. I'm working off-site today, and there's a configuration problem on my laptop.  On this day two years ago, in an act of terrorism, two planes deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center in NYC, destroying it, and killing over 3000 people. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon. A fourth went down in rural Pennsylvania, an act of great heroism and self-sacrifice by the passengers on board. In no way minimizing the suffering and grief caused by the crashes, it was also a day of incredible growth for the weblog world, and emphasized the need to continue to develop decentralized communication systems that route effectively around outages. Highly recommended: Chris Lydon's interview with Elaine Scarry, for a perspective on the heroism of the citizens of 9-11. They were more effective than the Pentagon, on less notice, on a much tighter budget. It'll give you an idea of the kind of defense we're buying with all those trillions of dollars. Good morning. A second US presidential campaign has accepted our offer to participate on Day 1. The announcement and writeup will come later today. Also, the Day 1 education panel is complete. Jenny Levine, The Shifted Librarian, will participate. Excellent. I still have to get writeups for all the Day 1 panels. But things are starting to finalize. Is it soup yet? Almost!  |
