Where I've been
I've been very busy for a couple of weeks. I went to Yale, for the Revenge of the Blog conference, and visited my family in Western Massachusetts. The Revenge of the Blog is pretty well documented on-line, so I'm not sure I have much to say about it. It was my first experience of "live blogging" -- several people in the room were posting articles about the conference as it happened. Perhaps more notably, one of the panelists complained about a story posted by slashdot editor Chris DiBona, who's a friend of mine. I managed to find Chris on-line and talk to him in IRC about the story while the conference was still going on.
You can see pictures of the conference or read about it (some of those links have other links to articles about the event).
After that, I went to CPTWG in Los Angeles and heard proposals for the creation of an "Analog Working Group" or "Analog Issues Discussion Group" to "close the analog hole".
This is a pretty big deal. There's still an outstanding suggestion for EFF to create a site about that discussion, the way we did for the BPDG. I think it's clear that the new site would need to be called Cruelty to Analog. (So, where the bumpersticker about the broadcast flag will read "8/VSB is not a crime", the bumpersticker about the analog hole, should regulatory proposals arise, clearly ought to say "Help stop cruelty to analog" or "I oppose cruelty to analog".)
At the moment, the group is still just a proposal, so there may be nothing to see for the moment.
Riana was back in town for Thanksgiving, and I went to karaoke with her and Biella and Praveen at Amnesia, continuing an occasional tradition.
Gwen hosted a reading group at her place, but instead of reading anything, we watched the movie Real Genius. It's great fun.
