Hello, Internet.
I'm coming to you LIVE from Denver, Colorado, where I'm working with the DNCC online team on the Democratic Convention Website. If you've got a chance, you should absolutely check out our video gallery. It's live streaming HD, and the quality is really quite breathtaking. You'll have to get Microsoft SilverLight and another plugin, but trust me, it's worth it.
I'm back in the Internet team's area at the Pepsi Center where there are 25 or so of us banging away on the aforementioned video content, website updates, online advertising, and photography. It's an awesome group of people with a lot of strong skills. I'm looking forward to seeing what we're able to pull off over the next four days.
Already, I've run into a number of people I know and ended up hanging out last night with Ian and some delegate friends of his. It's awfully nice to be able to walk down a random street in a city I've never been to before and run into folks I know. I suppose the convention biases things, and it also doesn't hurt that I was in the vicinity of a youth-targeted event. But still, it's a reminder of the tininess of this world we're kicking around in.
Random but worth noting: I've also picked up a new nickname from a random person on the street... "Box".
Bonus: Here's a picture from the convention floor.
If any of you are in Denver or the surrounding area, drop me a line. I'll be here until Saturday afternoon.
