Visit to Washington Next Week

I’ll be in Washington next Monday-Wednesday, speaking Tuesday at the Politics Online conference at George Washington University. If any bloggers or citizen-media folks are interested in getting together, send me an e-mail at dan.gillmor (at) citmedia (dot) org.

Air Travel Karma

While my nonstop flight was canceled from San Francisco to Boston due to the East Coast blizzard, I not only got to Chicago but then had a seat on what I think was the only United flight that […]

On the Road

I’m hoping to get to Boston sometime tonight, because I’m giving a talk tomorrow evening at Harvard. My nonstop flight from San Francisco was canceled, but I’m now booked at least as far as Chicago, which is two-thirds of a continent better than just waiting around California for a nonstop.

David Weinberger, who also has copious notes, decided that […]

Some Berkman Fellows

I’m at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society this week, doing paperwork, figuring out where to get coffee, getting a library card and Harvard ID, etc. Pictured are two of the Berkman Fellows, David Isenberg (left) and Ethan Zuckerman. (The photo is blurry on the right partly because I shot it with my Treo. […]
