    Just a quick programming note: If you’ve ever seen me in person, perhaps giving a short presentation and talking about journalism, blogs, social media, innovation at newspapers, or my own projects, you can now find related notes, slides, and links on my Speaking page. I’ll keep that updated.

    Know what Foo Camp is?  Know what BarCamp is?
