A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

Denver: Monday night live blogging

8:46pm ET: Right now, on stahe is Jesse Jackson Jr. The Virgina delegation is seated on the floor, in the center, right behind the Illinois delegation. Funny thing: one of the teleprompters is right behind our seats. 8:52pm: Not sure what you guys are seeing on TV but if you hear music in the background, … Continue reading Denver: Monday night live blogging →

Monday in Denver – so far

I slept like a rock. When the alarm went off this morning at 7am, I wasn't anywhere near ready to get up. I got dressed and headed downstairs for a cup of coffee. Yes, they have coffee pots in the room but I much prefer real cream or milk over that powdered stuff. While downstairs, … Continue reading Monday in Denver – so far →

Made in to Denver all in one piece

I used the "official airline" of the Democratic National Convention and as those of you who followed my Twittering already know, wound up getting to Denver some 5 hours later than scheduled.

It’s Biden

By now, the world knows that Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate. Like everyone in the VP pool, Biden has his positives and his negatives. I'm neither thrilled nor disappointed by this choice. I think Biden is a pretty smart guy who sometimes can't control his mouth. He … Continue reading It’s Biden →

A technology traveler’s toolkit

When I travel around town to cover various events, I usually carry just a couple of things, since I'm never far from home and all of the equipment I need. Going to Denver, I've been spending some time putting together the technology kit that I will need in order to be able to post to … Continue reading A technology traveler’s toolkit →
