I know this is supposed to be 'Wordless', but I felt I should explain the picture to those who stop by who aren't early technology adopters.

Last Saturday, I went to an 'unconference' in New York City. An 'unconference' is 'a conference where the content of the sessions is driven and created by the participants'. I don't know how many conferences you go to, but I go to a lot. Most of them have a couple keynote speakers or plenary sessions, and then lots of panels, typically with four people up front talking to the audience, followed by about ten minutes when the audience gets to make their comments in the form of a question. Unconferences are great in that everyone gets a much greater chance to participate.

The unconference was part of Personal Democracy Forum, a yearly conference where there is a lot of talk about how technology can be used to 'engage citizens in the democratic process.'

One of the unconference topics was about Second Life, 3D multiplayer game where people can create their own spaces. I took this picture of a space that progressive political activists created to gather and share ideas.
