Day 2 for most people was all about Hillary's speech, for me, it was about my Mom trading her credentials with me so I could spend some time on the floor - and not just anywhere on the floor - on the floor with the VT delegation. This put me four rows back on the extreme right side facing the podium.

And just so you know right up front, my iPhone battery died before the kids joined their mom on stage - sorry

Not that you can tell, but this is John Legend singing with the choir

You'll have to take my word for it but here are Jimmy and Roselyn Carter on stage

Senator Teddy Kennedy speaking - one of the most moving parts of yesterday's event was hearing an older man way up high in the hall calling a friend and telling him how moved he was by Kennedy's appearance

Yeah, just have the camera on my iPhone, and I was way up in the nosebleeds yesterday. But here are the pictures I took. You'll see a bunch of better ones, but these are really to show 1) I was really there, 2) I was really high up and 3) Blue was the dominant color in the room.

So this is getting tagged urbanism. I just think a downtown is weakened when coffee shops close by 1 or 2PM on Sunday. The idie shops I wanted to hang in were closed, as were three count 'em three, Starbucks. Happily, I have located Denver's 16th Street Mall with a Peet's Coffee (and it's open)! with 2 hours of free wifi. The mall is the only real action downtown.

My job as Project Manager at ONE/Northwest has me managing several website projects simultaneously. At any one time I may be working anywhere from three to seven website projects in different stages and often of different magnitudes. Like others where I work, I am relatively good at this sort of juggling (though I hit highs and lows in the process).

So I signed up with Issuu today. I uploaded a test document - Lessig's the Future of Information - a big doc that I had hanging out on my desktop. There is an option to treat an upload as a public or private document. Metadata tagging is required.

After about 20 minutes of lag time, I received email notification that my document was ready. Prepping the document for html embed was dead simple. There are a bunch of embed options available:

• Facebook
• myspace
• orkut
• Blogger
• friendster
• TypePad

So about 6 months ago, when I was particularly irritated with the Washington State GOP, I signed up for their newsletter. About 2 months ago, I started receiving email from the McCain Campaign and the RNC. I'd unsubscribe, but it's good to see what the opposition is up to, so usually I read the notices and then delete them. Sometimes there's some light unintentional humor in them that is worthy of forwarding to an office-mate or two.

So here are my thoughts on the DNC Rules Committee Hearings - and, yes, I'm going to relate this to project scoping.

I understand the issues as they are raised by the citizens of Florida and Michigan. Let's call them the end-user stakeholders. This group of stakeholders has been poorly represented by the stakeholders who were tasked with that representative function at the table last year.

I also understand the principles that are being articulated by the Clinton campaign. And I have no issue with that campaign's making a rhetorical argument for a particular outcome.
