Sorry to report that my convention plans are being downsized a bit. Originally was planning on being in Boston for the duration, but something’s come up and I’ll only be able to make it out for Wednesday (when I’m speaking on a panel with Kos and Aldon.) If you’re looking for good blog coverage, be…

Whoa. Talk about big-time: Barack will be on Face the Nation on CBS and Meet the Press on NBC (find your local broadcast here). He’s giving the keynote address at the convention Tuesday night. And did you catch the open thread we did this week over at the Obama blog? More than 300 people left…

Carl with a K (get it? His name is actually Karl) is also competing to be one of the majority makers, and points out in the comments that though he doesn’t want to be competing against his good friend Josh, he really wants to go to Boston. I got to meet Karl when I was…

Was listening to WBBM tonight while heading over the gas station to fill up the minivan in anticipation of our drive out east (me for the convention, Robin and the kids for family visits). They reported on the Acxiom hack, and the woman reporting the story gravely intoned, “It’s believed to be the largest hack…

Sifry’s Alerts Technorati and CNN A few minutes ago CNN announced that Technorati will be providing real-time analysis of the political blogosphere at next week’s Democratic National Convention. I will be on-site in CNN’s convention broadcast center, along with Mary Hodder, and I’ll be providing regular on-air commentary on what bloggers are saying about politics…

Just got back from Chicago, where I got to see Joe Trippi speak about his book, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Rumor had it I’m actually mentioned in the book, and sure enough, there I am. Twice, even! I drove Joe to the airport after the book signing, figured it would be a good…
