I put up a couple of campaign signs in my front yard last night, one for Ray Cox (who’s running for re-election to the Minnesota House in 25B) and the other for Mark Murphy (who’s running for Rice County Sheriff). Yeah, I’m biased, since they’re my clients. Plus, I’m hoping that when they blog about [...] I used my Olympus WS-100 Digital Voice Recorder to record yesterday’s Citizens League forum at MPR. A couple of my colleagues asked what I used (“surprisingly good audio capture from your device”) so I thought I’d blog it here… trying to practice what I preach (answer your email with your blog). What immediately attracted me [...] Citizens League Executive Director and chief blogger Sean Kershaw (left) launched this morning’s Summer Policy series event titled The Future of the Web and Civic Engagement: What Happens When MySpace Meets Our Space? held at The Forum at Minnesota Public Radio. (Click photos to enlarge.) I recorded the forum. Click play to listen. 1 hour, [...] I’m heading out this morning for this event: The Future of the Web and Civic Engagement: What Happens When MySpace Meets Our Space? It’s part of the Citizens League’s Summer Policy series and is being held at The Forum at Minnesota Public Radio. Featured presenters include Tom Swain, Jean LeVander King, Jen Alstad, Steve Borsch, and Garrick [...] Mark Murphy is a sergeant with the Northfield City Police Department and he’s running for Sheriff of Rice County. I’ve set up (using WordPress) a website with a weblog for him — Murphy for Sheriff — and he has started blogging. I snapped this photo of him (yes, he was actually blogging at the time) [...] I regularly visit the City of Eden Prairie’s bloggers and yesterday stopped by office of the Fire Chief, George Esbensen who’s maintained an active weblog since January, 2005. If there’s another fire chief who’s got his or her own weblog (not a departmental PR blog), I’m unaware of it. Attach a comment here [...] I took these photos of Tom Dawkins last week. (Click to enlarge.) He was one of presenters on the Innovative Ideas to Stir Citizens panel in Baltimore.. He’s the founder of Vibewire Youth Services in Australia and, according to this post on Steve Clift’s Dowire.org blog, this month he’s: “… travelling around North America during August [...] Sean Kershaw, Executive Director of the Citizens League, has joined the blogosphere under my careful tutelage! I’m also working with the League on another blogging related project… details on that forthcoming. In today’s StarTribune business section: A blog can work for a business. I’ll take a closer look and comment more when I have time but I really disagree with this statement from the attorney interviewed: “Blogs are about having your customers talking to one another.” Update Aug. 10: Julie Finch, an attorney with Rider Bennett law firm in [...] MN State Senator Tom Neuville has joined the blogosphere. I’ve used WordPress to incorporate the other pages of his old web site and then inserted a weblog on the home page. He’s no Ray Cox yet, but he’s catching on fast. Before I departed Baltimore yesterday, I snapped some photos of the inner harbor, just a block from our hotel. Just like my favorite shots of Budapest, here are my favorites from Baltimore. Click photos to enlarge. Wondering about the costumes worn by the people by the pool and fountain in the [...] The Public Forum Institute was a partner for the Symposium and in Baltimore, they took over all the tech tasks for all the presentations. L to R: Jonathan Ortmans and Mark Marich, Mark and Jeff Jendel, and Jonathon. Click photos to enlarge. They also deployed their eForum audience response system which, as described on [...] Antonia Bance is a blogger and a Labour councillor for Rose Hill and Iffley ward in Oxford, UK. She was an attendee in Budapest last week (far right in left photo; far left in right photo – click to enlarge). When she returned home, she posted a note to her weblog detailing her reactions to [...] My UK colleagues and I took time out yesterday afternoon to tour downtown Baltimore and its inner harbor via the Ride The Ducks amphibious vehicle. In the evening, we and 44,000 others watched a baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles (yay) and New York Yankees (boo) at nearby Oriole Park at Camden Yards. In an exciting, [...] I got notified via WordPress pingback that someone had linked to the ICELE blog. I checked and saw a blog post by Budapest attendee Ben Rogers titled I have Started to blog because… in which he wrote: I have started blogging because i was sent to budapest by the British Government in order to [...] |
