Blogging the Democratic Convention
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 11/18/2003 - 10:02(Originally published in my MovableType blog, and moved here for consolidation).
Over on DailyKOS is a discussion about Bloggers at DNC convention.
Bloggers getting press passes. Lots of WiFi being available. Etc.
Kos writes, "I want anyone with a regularly updated blog to get credentials." I guess I'ld better start updating my blog more regularly. I really want to be there.

My Letter to the Editor

My letter to the editor, in response to the article New Lieberman ad takes swipe at Dean
I was disappointed to read about Joe Lieberman’s swipe at Howard Dean, “New Lieberman ad takes swipe at Dean”, Nov 14. "I don't think it's right to have raised a divisive symbol like the confederate flag” Lieberman is quoted as saying.
What I don’t think is right is for Lieberman to attack a fellow Democrat for encouraging people who have stopped voting as Democrats to look at the issues that really matter and return to the Democratic party.

Cows?
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 10/30/2003 - 15:58(Originally published in my MovableType blog, and moved here for consolidation).
In today's New York Times, there is an editorial, When Good Photo-Ops Go Bad
It ends off with the comment:
Right now, Mr. Bush's potential opponents may be enjoying the administration's current embarrassment, but they'll feel different the next time they're in Iowa and a staff member announces it's time for the portrait with the cow.
I found this particularly interesting in light of an entry in Rick Klau's blog yesterday entitled Caption contest showing Howard Dean standing in front of a cow.

For those of you who haven't checked out DeanSpace.org, please do. It is based on Drupal and has some interesting potential for distributed grassroots campaigning.
Also, they have now added Trackbacks.

FCC working to widen digital divide?
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 10/22/2003 - 03:40(Originally published in my MovableType blog, and moved here for consolidation)
Today, on one of the Howard Dean mailing lists I am on, I received a copy of press release from the FCC in which Commisioner Copps asks, "Is The Internet As We Know It Dying?"
It prompted me to check out current regulations proposed by the FCC. One of the websites I heard about at the AoIR conference is www.regulations.gov.
