05/24/2004 09:12 AM I'm at the PDF in NYC today along with about 150 other people for a
day of non-partisan discussion of how politics may be changing,
particularly because of the new global connectedness. The conference
organizer is Andrew Rasiej, who I almost met when he was with the Dean
campaign. I'm in the Bloggers' Corner, the front left of the
auditorium where the power strip is. To my right is Jeff Jarvis. To my
left is David Jacobs. Behind me, Anil Dash. In front of me, David
Isenberg. The chat and blogs can be found here. Also try Kinja....

Personal Democracy conference
Personal Democracy conference
05/07/2004 11:58 AMOn Monday, May 24th in New York City there will be a
Personal Democracy Forum to, "bring together political
figures, grassroots leaders, journalists and technology professionals
to discuss the questions that lie at the intersection of technology
and politics -- to take a realistic look at where we are now and where
we are headed." Alas, democracy as we know is not free. The one-day
forum costs between $50 (student) - $195 (general admission) to
attend. Ouch, that's a lot! I wish more things in the US were like the
way they are in Europe, where unemployed people can get in for free,
or at least have some discount. That said, it looks to be an interesting line-up of speakers.

Duke Law School's Arts Project Moving
Image Contest
12/17/2004 06:33 PMDuke Law School, Center for
the Study of the Public Domain, has posted the eight finalists to
their Arts Project Moving
Image Contest. The contest asked entrants to create short films
demonstrating some of the tensions between art and intellectual
property law, and the intellectual property issues artists face,
focusing on either music or documentary film. The judges (including
our own Glenn) are
selecting three winners from among these finalists, and the winners
will be announced on January 15, 2005. They are also asking for your vote, from which they will give
People's Choice awards.
All of the finalists are licensed under Creative Commons licenses, and
the videos range from the account of a documentarian trying to cover
army recruiters in the North Carolina Piedmont, to a Polish animator's
science fiction vision of music's apocalytic future, from a college
student's efforts to make a Public Service Announcement about the
Civil Rights movement, to a dissection of the law behind "Supersize
Me."
Student, teacher punished for bypassing

Student, teacher punished for bypassing
school's 'net filters
04/05/2005 04:48 PMXeni Jardin:
A high school student was punished for freeing his fellow websurfing
students and teachers from their school's internet content filtering
system.
Conrad Sykes, 16, created a Web site that bypassed the
district's Internet content filter, which was hampering student
research, the student said. Sykes said he did this so students could
access research sites - but it also allowed students to visit adult
sites or others that the school district intends to screen out. Sykes'
site was so successful that many Spokane Public School students - and
people from as far away as Alabama and Pennsylvania - used it
thousands of times between Dec. 14 and Feb. 22.
Sykes was even asked by his computer teacher, Wes Marburger, to
make a presentation to other classes on the number of visitors to his
Web site.
The district filter is called Bess, and a dog is in the logo.
In the end, Sykes was suspended for two days in February for violating
school computer use policies. His teacher was given a written
reprimand and removed from teaching computer classes. The state Office
of Professional Practices is now investigating and could potentially
take away Marburger's teaching certificate.

Exeter, yet another picture perfect New Hampshire town, alternating
between standing outside holding Dean signs and sitting in the

Then, at 5pm, it was back to the Portsmouth HQ, phoning people to urge
them to vote. In short, I spent the day being a little-d democrat.
This is the real thing: American democracy. People reduced to their

"No voting rights for
YOU......boy!"- Florida's illegal purges of voter rolls to continue
for 3rd national election? Election head resigns. While Florida
refuses to
release the "purge lists" to CNN, "The head of
Florida's elections division resigned Monday amid reports he was
feeling political heat over a push to purge thousands of suspected
felons from the state's voter rolls." (Tallahassee Sun-Sentinel)
" there has been
little action (and
worse, really) on Florida's
agr
eement to reinstate illegally purged voters to Florida voting
rolls that resulted from an NAACP lawsuit over the 2000 election
[
"Many voters said their votes didn't count or they were
turned away from polls due to mistakes on voter lists, busy telephone
lines at election headquarters, punch-card voting machine foul-ups and
other problems...Statewide, the largest numbers of voting problems
were found in precincts with high proportions of black and elderly
voters." The NYT editorially
acknowledg
ed the scandal on February 15, 2004.]
On May 21, 2002, Ashcroft's Justice Department began a suit against
Florida counties
"for purging Black voters from voter rolls and other violations
of civil rights" Now, four years after the 2000 election,
illegally "purged" Florida voters will not be notified until
it is
"too late
to have their rights restored for this election - or are turned
away on Election Day", reports the Tampa Tribune.
"The
vast majority of them are black and would be likely to vote
Democratic."
It's difficult for convicted felons to
regain the right to vote
in Florida, but many on the "purge" lists were not (in
2000) and still are not felons at all. [ note :
Greg Palast - busy of late -

Democracy Through Technology
Democracy Through Technology
10/31/2003 07:27 PMBeltwayOutsider
writes in with a link to an MIT Tech Review story about a guy who,
just as an exercise, created various potential
scen
arios to increase the information a voter is aware of before
voting in an election. We're not talking about electronic voting
here, but changing some of the fundamental methods of deciding who
votes and how they vote. None of these plans is a "recommendation",
but, rather are designed to get people thinking beyond what they may
have considered before. People seem to get angry about his ideas, but
I'm not sure why. It actually wouldn't surprise me if his first
scenario came true - though, it would be an indication of how
intellectually lazy some of us had become. It's based on a little
agent that would monitor what you do and say online and then look at
the various candidates and proposals and suggest who and what you
should vote for. Obviously, people would have huge problems with
machines determining who you should vote for, but it is intriguing to
wonder if this would lead to elections that more accurately reflect
what the public really wants. Other scenarios are designed to push
more information into the hands of voters - and perhaps reward them
for understanding the issues. One would give voters extra votes if
they first prove they understand an issue, while another would force
the person to prove that a certain issue actually impacted them by
proving they had visited the location that the vote was about. The
last idea isn't a bad one as well - and I'm sure that some websites
probably already
try to do this. It's "post vote tracking",
where you would be informed of the results of your vote, and whether
or not the politician you voted for kept his or her promises.
Definitely some interesting ideas to think about.
