Sometime in the past hour, the Dean campaign released a completely new web site. It’s mostly cosmetic at this point – most of the content appears to be from the old site – but it’s a much more professional look and appears to have placeholders for more substantive content down the road.

Video on C-SPAN: Dean in Iowa C-SPAN has updated their site with a link to Dean’s speech at the Linn County Iowa Democratic Fundraising Dinner : CSPAN Video posted by Aziz Poonawalla     Tuesday, January 21, 2003 [dean2004.blogspot.com]A few things to note about the speech: Governor Dean mentioned Bill Clinton by name repeatedly, calling attention…

I wrote the other day about getting involved in the Dean Campaign. After watching his speech last weekend in Iowa (I caught the archived version on the web at C-Span.org), I’m even more convinced that he’s the only candidate who’s saying what needs to be said. But I also recognize that most of the people…

So here I am at LAX in the American Airlines Admirals Club. And thanks to T-Mobile, I’m now a T-Mobile Hotspot customer – and this post comes to you via a WiFi high speed connection in the flight club. $50/month for unlimited minutes nationwide. I’m trying it out for a month – but may ultimately…

DO check it out.Not speaking of which, Chicago blawger extraordinaire Rick Klau spoke today at the Marketing Partner Forum (on the subject of knowledge managment in law firms), and impressed and entertained…

By the way, I’m here attending and speaking at the Marketing Partner Forum, a conference focused on marketing directors and marketing partners at law firms. There…

I’ll keep the advocacy to a dull roar (for now), but I’m starting to get involved with the Dean campaign. Right now, this includes helping out on some technology projects and fund raising.
