    Here’s a PDF of the short presentation I made at SND in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. It’s remarkably simple.  I think I waved my arms a lot to fill up my five minutes. This presentation goes well with the list of mostly free online news tools I posted a couple weeks ago, as…

    From my living room at the crack of dawn on Sunday, getting ready to catch my flight to SNDVegas, it seemed like a good idea to give myself a reporting assignment. I said that I would ask lots of people a question, on video, and post their replies. Well, fail.  Epic fail.  Why?  Because, frankly,…

    I finally finished a basic Tools page to start a list of some of the basic, mostly-free, mostly-embeddable applications that I recommend for quick and simple Web production. It’s not intended to be all-encompassing; it’s just a short list of things I find useful.  You might find them useful, too. But if you have any…

    Later tonight, I’ll be on my way to Chicago for a Knight Foundation meeting ahead of the UNITY 2008 conference. I’m psyched to see the News Challenge posse, but of course if you’re in town for UNITY and want to cross paths on Tuesday, drop me a line or better yet, DM me on Twitter.…

    The Stata Center at MIT. Highlights so far from the first evening and night at the Center for Future Civic Media: As usual when I show up for these things, putting dozens of online “friends” into the friend-met category.  People like Amy Gahran, JD Lasica, Ethan Zuckerman, Brian and Ryan from Rich Gordon’s teach-programmers-journalism project…
