Met (and saw) fewer new people today, but spent time with some of the same folks from yesterday, and hung out a lot with Ted and Kirsten:
* [Kiersten Lammerding](http://yahoo.com/) (got a better link k-lo?)
* KD / Kristy (klo’s friend from the evil empire)
* [Ted Nadeau](http://dotline.com/)
* [Robert Scoble](http://scobleizer.com/)
* [Chris Messina](http://factoryjoe.com/)
* Christina Wodtke, heard in Las Manitas
* Kirsten Thoft, no link but spent time with
* Adina Levin, spotted from across the crowd waiting for the secret elevator to overload floor 3
* Bruce Sterling, saw but don’t know
* [Kaliya Hamlin](http://www.kaliyasblogs.net/Iwoman/)
* [Laura Fisher](http://blog.mittenartworks.com/)

Links are people I talked to. Nonlinks are people I spotted but didn’t talk to. I know I’m leaving people out from Break Bread with Brad at Buffalo Billiards. I didn’t always get everyone’s name and by then my beer-to-food ratio was really out of whack (had only southwest peanuts all day until George kicked me down some chicken tenders, Sarah shared her salad with me, and sixth street forked over a mediocre slice of pizza on a pretty good wheat crust):
* [Napalm](http://suicidegirls.com/girls/Napalm/)
* [Mary Hodder](http://dabble.com)
* [John Poisson](http://radar.net/)
* [danah boyd](http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/) (all of the above on the plane)
* [Scot Hacker](http://birdhouse.org/)
* [Jon Lebkowsky](http://weblogsky.com)
* Zeldman
* Tantek
* [Dori Smith and Tom Negrino](http://backupbrain.com)
* Limor Fried
* Phil Torrone
* Tiffany B. Brown (this group all in the clusterf* of a registration line)
* [Sarah Bruner](http://syrup.org/)
* [George Kelly](http://allaboutgeorge.com/)
* [Prentiss Riddle](http://aprendizdetodo.com/)
* need to get the names of the guys I played foosball with from BLNK and Time Warner
* [Jay Allen](http://jayallen.org/)
* Min Jung Kim
* [Peter Merholz](http://peterme.com)
* [Andy Baio](http://waxy.org)

* [Clay Johnson](http://bluestatedigital.com) (this batch at BB with B at BB)

Life’s been a little crazy for personal journaling lately, but the pent-up urge to blog is reasserting itself. I flew into JFK on the jetblue redeye last night and have been holed up in the family compound in Manhattan today drinking liquids and recovering.
Tomorrow I’ll check out the Tank and the other liberal bloggers covering the convention. I wasn’t tempted to venture out into the protests today. It was too hot and I was too headachey and sleepy.
Haven’t eaten all day but not sure I actually need to. A little coffee helped the headache. Time for another glass of water.
