06/05/2005 10:55 PMI'm keeping my head down to work on my book, most of the time, but
Kerry Lauerman asked for contributions to a package about "Star Wars,"
and, well, I couldn't resist. You can read my thoughts on why I, as a
passionate teenage science fiction fan in the 1970s, was never a fan
of George Lucas's epic,
here.
On a related subject, I watched "Spaceballs" for the
first time during my last vacation, in the company of my family, and
while it was as, well, slight as I expected, there was something about
the notion of "The Schwartz" (Mel Brooks' answer to the Force) that
really seemed to charm my five-year-old boys, who took up the concept
as a rallying cry and did not let it go.

07/26/2004 12:44 AM Will we ever do this again? Is 2004 the last year we're going to have
national conventions like these? I just came back from picking up my
credentials, which meant taking the T down to the Fleet Center,
waiting on the wrong line, being directed by a series of five polite
cops to the press office, and then being told that bloggers pick up
their credentials at the Westin Hotel five subway stops away. My fault
for not finding out ahead of time where to go. But the trip to and
then around the Fleet Center was instructive, for...

08/05/2004 10:40 AM
Chris Casey of the Democratic News Service asked, on the
Convention Bloggers mail list, what we would do differently for 2008.
Here's what I say.
In retrospect, it would have been incredible to have a BloggerCon at the DemCon. Off the floor. A room packed with big Democratic
icons, the candidates, the operators, the money, the press.
A discussion leader. Let's get to the heart of things. Let's
explain to the folks at home how this really works.
We've shown you what the convention looks like to a hayseed in
the big city. Now what does it look like from the insider
perspective.
And by the way, it's cool that you're all so excited about
blogs. Really cool. But what about your friends at the RIAA. They're
not our friends. Not because we're pirates, but because we love the
First Amendment, like Democrats do. The two positions are not
compatible. You can't love blogs and love Hollywood at the same time.
But this iteration was great. Next time let's give the people
what only they have. Power. Government of
the people, by the people and for the people. Shall not perish from
the earth.

07/21/2004 11:10 PMDan has a lovely piece about blogging and observing the Convention. I
find I have no coherent expectations about it or what I'll write
about. I bounce from thinking that I'll react to the Big Speeches to
reporting small anecdotes to reading the clips of Mailer's 1960s
political coverage and thinking "Take away the talent and incredible
insight, and what's he got that I don't got?" I can't even anticipate
how cynical or filled with spirit I'll be; I am, after all, perfectly
capable of crying at a good political speech. (It's hope that turns on
the ol' waterworks. Gotta...

07/07/2004 04:38 PMJay Rosen: My advice to the hypothetical blogger with credentials for
Boston is fairly simple. (What's yours? Hit the comment button and
speak.) Know what happened to the first regime in convention coverage,
why it yielded to television and how it became a media event. Don't
join up with the second regime, whose story went dead a long time ago.
If in doubt on what to write about, ask yourself who sent you and your
laptop to Beantown, and post an account for them. Report backwards to
whatever place you came from-- including the opinions you came from.

Convention bloggers down a couple of pegs. Joe points to the
resentment journalists feel towards bloggers because we haven't "paid
our dues." True enough. Bloggers who think that just because they got
a free account at www.BlogYourAss.com, they can now displace
professional journalists are seriously underestimating the skills,
dedication and value of real journalists. (Yes, real journalists.) Of
course there are bloggers who are as skilled and dedicated as any
professional journalist. In fact, some are professional journalists.
But most bloggers aren't. That's by no means a criticism. Most...

from there.

moments at the Convention, Melissa Fitzgerald — CJ's assistant,

was there to promote Environment 2004's ecological agenda. Why come to
the bloggers? Because we're the future of the media, etc. etc. Being a
celebrity, um, camp follower — and having utterly failed to
satisfy my children's requirement that I come back with photos of The

Convention Bloggers and the Future
07/30/2004 03:55 PMFor all the occasional self-absorption and recursive coverage of
coverage of blogging at the Democratic National Convention, it's clear
that the experiment must be chalked up as a success. The bloggers'
work ranged from abysmal to terrific, sort of like traditional
journalism.
What's important to keep in mind is that this was one of those moments
when things pivot slightly. The accreditation of bloggers to the
convention was an affirmation by a highly centralized hierarchy -- the
Democratic Party -- of an evolving kind of information flow. That the
even more centralized Republican Party has felt obliged to include
bloggers is evidence of the shift.
