Overheard: “We should pass some UN resolutions while we’re here–the room is set up for it.”
8:12 AM (though I’ve been up since 7AM, college students aren’t used to this!) and our intrepid organizers are desperately trying to get us started. Whoops, there go the lights. Guess they’re serious now. Take your seats guys, I’m sitting too close to the door for them to release the dogs…
In the bar, (too) late last night: DJ Spooky and Howard Rheingold talking about: camera phones, persistent online identity and presence, how teens around the world use short messaging services(SMS),and camera phones to communicate, sampling music as an art form and a political commentary, the Internet as a place for masks and personas. Art Basel […]

Looking very much forward to this event – even if I am, just like JD – looking at it from afar. Good start to the book Dan! However in the interest of controversity I should like to offer a hook: This first chapter is very difficult to read because the design of the page is […]
Dan Gillmor’s just posted the first chapter of his new book “Making the News” on his blog site, for reflection and comment. Great timing for the start of the Mediamorphosis conference. Opening paragraphs: “We freeze some moments in time. Every culture has its frozen moments — events so important, and somehow so personal, that they […]

Dan Gillmor and I are seated opposite one another at a little gilt table in the meeting room hallway at Mediamorphosis, clicking into the wireless network while we wait for our rooms to be readied.
