On the road to Grand Rapids


I’ll be in Grand Rapids, Minnesota today and tomorrow for meetings at the Blandin Foundation where we’ll be discussing citizen journalism / community media initiatives in rural Minnesota.  Or to put it in my current favorite lingo:

How can online “weapons of mass collaboration” be used to
strengthen the fabric of local neighborhoods and communities?

I may do some mobile blogging via my cell phone — both photos and audio — so watch for some unattributed content as I’m not fond of thumbing explanatory text, prefer to do that via laptop once I’ve got an internet connection.

Update at 7:45 PM: Some photos of Blandin Foundation headquarters on the Mississippi River. Click to enlarge.
