This was the web group shot Geoff called for right before we had to retire for the night.
Leaving this UStream felt like leaving a great party early. Thanks Cali Lewis for letting us know it was happening.
Live video chat by Ustream Geoff writes about the party here at his website.
My first visit to Chicago was for the Democratic Convention.XX This was the convention where tear gas was all the rage in Grant Park. I was so pleased when I saw the same park packed border to border with happy, joyfully tearful people on Election night.
We thought Illinois had become the place of light for the nation.
But then…
The governor was rudely awakened and dragged from his home in sweat pants to be brought before a judge and charged with a variety of counts having to do with the sale of a Senate seat.
There were no charges for bad hair, but of that he seems obviously guilty. The rest is still to be worked out in the Federal Judicial system.
However.
According to the news this morning he still has the power to appoint the Senator. What’s wrong with that?
Will hubris prevail?
Stay tuned.

Not that it’s breaking news, but I was just playing Kyodai Mahjongg when I noticed it was DECEMBER!!!. Okay, where were all the Blog entries that should have been here during the transition period? Have we gone into hibernation awaiting 1-20-08?
No, we were making Twitter entries. Over 970 of them in the past few months. Twitterberry is partially at fault. It makes tweeting entirely too easy. Though there are other Twitter utilities for the Blackberry, Twitterberry meets my needs. 
The other problem could be the news all around, coming from all the media, seems to be telling me I should be miserable right now. The world is travelling to hell in a picnic basket, according to CNN. 
They don’t seem to have a shortage of people who are willing to stand, or sit in front of camera and proclaim whatever conclusion fits the mood of the headline. Perhaps they are all legitimate, but the sensation is more that they are convenient.
The end point of this is that though this Blog may not seem as active as before, it is, underground, in the Fleet River of Cyberspace, ever so more active. The activity however isn’t found in these run-on sentences we call Blog entries, it is rather in the right hand column where the latest Twitter tweets are displayed.
