If you are in New York June 23, 24, consider attending Personal Democracy Forum. I will be joined by Craig Newmark, Joe Trippi, Scott Heiferman, and Brian Behlendorf on the closing plenary panel where we will discuss Redefining Leadership in a Networked Age, Tuesday at 5:15 in the Rose Theater. I will brag shamelessly about the accomplishments of Netroots Nation and also talk about the next challenge in democracy and technology: we know what technology has done for politics, now what will it do for government?
"Being a cynic is so contemptibly easy. ...you don't have to invest anything in your work. No effort, no pride, no compassion, no sense of excellence, nothing."
