More Convention weirdness 07/29/2004 11:28 AM

Last night, in a self-reflective capstone to the list of weird media moments at the Convention, Melissa Fitzgerald — CJ's assistant, Carol, on The West Wing — came by to talk with the bloggers. She 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 Daily Show correspondents — I interviewed her. What's her political background? Her parents know Gov. Ed Rendell and she's...

Beatles weirdness 02/01/2005 09:15 PM
For Beatles obsessives like me, this list of anomalies in Beatles songs (listed by album) is a total time sink! Alas one of my all-time favorites, Here Comes the Sun, doesn't have a very long list of anomalies. Still, a fun way to kill lots of time, for those Beatles fans looking to do so.

People have been talking about quantum computing for a while now, and from this article it sounds like an important advancement has been made (and it's even explained in a way that's not all that difficult to understand). Still, it sounds like we're very far away from any sort of useful quantum computing application.

The last convention?


The last convention? 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...

At the next convention


At the next convention 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.

Joe Gandelman responds to the LA Times commentary that takes us 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...

While the eyes of the nation are on a certain convention in Boston this week, I will be counter-programming: Tomorrow I'm heading up to Portland for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. Although Salon started covering free/open source software back in 1997, when I was editing Andrew Leonard's great pieces on Apache etc., I have never been to one of these fabled events, so I'm looking forward to it, and hope to do at least some posting from there.

Dan 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...

Jay 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. Feed the...
