Susan Mernit gave me a head’s up about this wekeend’s YOGA JOURNAL LIVE at ESTES PARK, a conference blog related to The 10th Annual Yoga Journal Colorado Conference (which itself includes a conference-within-a-conference featuring yoga legend Sri B.K.S. Iyengar). The blog is described as “A live conference blog sharing the teaching of BKS Iyengar and…

“Nobody really talks about antiracism, especially in the blogosphere.” – Marian Douglas I remember that my favorite session at SXSW this year was Blogging While Black. Today, not surprisingly, I’m finding the “brownbloggers” session to be again one of the best. There also appears to be much better, much stronger nonwhite representation here (as compared…

Today has been a good exercise in trying to shut up and listen, although I have slipped from time to time and shouted or out or insisted on being heard. Still, for the most part today I’ve been listening and learning. This has to be the best blog conference I’ve been to yet. The range…

Here at Blogher I noticed Ka-Ping Yee’s status via rendezvous pointign to a site called regender.com. I went there and put radiofreeblogistan.com in the box and it switched the gender of everything it thought was a proper name. Interesting.

Sounds like last night was fun. Finally got the wireless working on my Mac. Sadly, I brought the camera but not the memory card, so I won’t be able to post pictures (except via the phone). Already meeting a lot of cool people. It’s great to be in a room that is 80% women. I…

I won’t be there this evening for any pre-schmoozing, but I will be driving down to San Jose bright and early tomorrow a.m. to take in the splendor that will be Blogher. I’ll bring the camera and try to post some shots during the day or soon afterward.

Quoting 90% Crud: Thank you for not mentioning the outside world: Is there a proxy that would let me filter any content with the words “SXSW” or “ETech”? That would help me feel a bit better about being in Michigan over the next week. I suspect the Chinese have it in place to keep all…

Dan Perkins on blogging the convention (WorkingForChange-This Modern World: The very nice Democratic convention): (via Matt Welch)

Film at 11. But at least now that Dvorak is himself a blogger, it means that he too must suck.

Coincidence or response to my gripes, it doesn’t matter which, but the three blogs featuring most of my convention blogging have finally been added to the Convention Bloggers website, yielding 130 additional readers in the last half day (at this moment – updated stats at the RFB referrer rankings page at Salon). Most of my…

Journalist practicing archaic form of notetaking involving making marks with graphite and wood on wood pulp held together with metallic ring bindings

Alison Teal notices that the bloggers have been fiercely territorial about seating and vantage points in the blogger section, and that there seems to be a politeness differential across the generation gap(s): There is a reserved section on the seventh floor for the bloggers, but I’ve stopped going there. The Internet has been a little…

Dave Winer is annoyed about journalists mangling his web address. I know how he feels. I’m still sort of annoyed that none of the blogs I’m covering the convention for are included in Dave’s aggregrator. I don’t believe – as Liza suggested in a comment elsewhere – that this is a deliberate oversight. It’s a…
