Wednesday, August 6th, 2008Hi!
At 3 EDT today, I’ll be Dave Witzel’s guest on “LIVE Interviews Online,” answering questions from Dave and YOU on how I got involved in the public data and data visualization movement, who’s doing it right, and what the future is (I’ll be easy to spot: I’m wearing the rose-tinted glasses on this issue!).
We already […]
Show Us a Better Way: convinced it’s a turning point in public data
Monday, August 4th, 2008The old PR guy in me rears it’s ugly head!
Once in a blue moon a promotion comes along that really seizes the public’s attention, and, if there’s some substance, can really change the way we live (no, I’m not talkin’ “Real Coke” here).
I’m convinced that’s the case with the UK’s Show Us a Better Way […]
At pdf2008: really interesting visualizations
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Really interesting demo right now of a mapping tool, Linkfluence, that’s being used to map the political blogosphere, and various aspects of this year’s election. Followed by Michael Hurst of Microsoft, who’s also doing some very interesting mapping. Definitely fellow travelers!

Heading to NYC to speak at Personal Democracy Forum 2008!
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Hi. Experimenting by riding Bolt Bus ($15 and free wi-fi plus no one to bother me.

My data feed/data visualization white paper published by nGenera!
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008I’m a proud papa!
nGenera, Don Tapscott’s firm, today published the “Democratizing Data” paper I co-authored for their Gov. 2.0 program.
It covers the two major aspects of a public data program:
publishing data feeds (particularly on a real-time basis)
then using data visualization tools such as those from Many Eyes or Swivel
to use both within government agencies and […]
With continued midwest disasters, my tips can save lives
Thursday, June 12th, 2008A reminder, with the latest round of midwest disasters, that my “21st-century disaster tips you won’t hear from officials,” regarding smart use of personal communication devices, especially in conjunction with Web 2.0-based mobile social networked applications such as Twitter and Flickr, can and will save lives and empower the general public to play a substantive […]
I’ve just posted presentation on public data and government transformation
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Hi! getting back into swing of things after finishing my white paper on public data and data visualization for Don Tapscott’s Gov. 2.0 project (sorry, it’s only available to project subscribers) and preparing for my forthcoming speeches on the subject at the Personal Democracy Forum, June 23-4 & Netroots Nation, July 17-20.

Great sessions at Government Leadership Summit!
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I’ll try to summarize stuff after I get back from the Government Leadership Summit. Major emphasis throughout on emergent behavior, “wisdom of crowds.”
Suffice it to say that I think Vivek Kundra, the District of Columbia’s CTO, is a rock star!
Gotta go: my panel, on Intellipedia, is up next!

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Thanks again to Micah Sifry! He’s added me to a panel he’ll be a member of at this year’s “Netroots Nation” (which evolved from Daily Kos‘ Yearly Kos conferences that have gotten such attention in the blogosphere and media in the past).
Once again, I’ll speak about data visualization, not only as a tool for […]
yipee! I’m speaking at Personal Democracy Forum 2008!
Monday, May 19th, 2008I have officially died and gone to heaven!
Just got off the phone with Micah Sifrey, of TechPresident and Personal Democracy Forum fame.
He’s invited me to speak at Personal Democracy Forum 2008 on data visualization as a means to empower the public in government (especially its potential for sousveillance to hold government agencies accountable and […]
