This a shot of the panel at the Open Knowledge Forum. We were invited to attend the forum by Mr. Tom Steinberg. He’s with a group called MySociety.org. That’s Tom on the far left (your left).
The discussion at the Forum centered around the subject of access to government information in the UK. [...]

We’ve now made our way up to Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire. It’s been a beautiful sunny day today, which is unusual in the UK in February. You are welcome to drop in to the photo album of our trip.
Adaptation
February 17, 2005 – 1:48 pm
We’ve not been able to blog or audio-moblog today because Griff’s T-Mobile service isn’t working here. Hopefully we’ll get that fixed tonight. We got a few minutes tonight to get online via wi-fi at a conference here in London hosted by the Open Knowledge Foundation.
We got into London at 6:30 am. We had our first [...]
Paul from Bristol
February 17, 2005 – 6:16 am
That’s Paul from Bristol. We met Paul on the Heathrow Express train from the airport to downtown London. Griff and I approached Paul at the train station for help with directions on how to use the train. I think that he could sense that we weere from “out of town”.
John gave [...]
At MSP airport
February 16, 2005 – 11:22 am
Here’s Scott, at the airport on the way to chicago, doing hotel reservations, in between calls from reporters.
I figured out how to thumb in some text via the camera phone to go along with the moblogged photo. But I’ve cheated here… editing this post, as I’m logged into Blogger via my laptop.
We’ll be [...]

The fire spread to the adjacent warming house that is adjacent to the outdoor ice rink. The fire destroyed the portable restroom and made significant damage to the warming house.

Collaboration is the Key
February 14, 2005 – 12:50 pm
Collaboration is a key value and activity for our organization to be successful, and successful collaboration starts at home. That’s why we’ve got an entire room dedicated to collaboration. We call it the “Collaboration Room”. It looks like this:
The Collaboration Room is a conference room that we have adapted with some technology [...]
Working on a Saturday?
February 12, 2005 – 1:59 pm
I’m fiercely at work planning my ReadMyDay trip to the United Kingdom. We’re experimenting with a camera-phone and new mobile-audio technologies. We’re at a local British pub in Northfield getting ourselves into the right mental frame of mind for the trip. See the map in the background.
This is what working [...]
Moblogging with a cameraphone
February 12, 2005 – 12:21 pm
I’ve created an account for Scott on Flickr that allows him to email photos from a cameraphone right to his blog. This is another form of moblogging. Here’s a test:
Who’s this geezerly dude? I posted this photo via cellphone camera from my home office here in Northfield, then logged in to edit the post. That’s [...]
Audioblogging with any telephone
February 12, 2005 – 11:23 am
I’ve set Scott up to be able to use AudioBlogger. It’s a free Blogger service that allows you to call a number from any phone and speak for up to four minutes. About a minute after you finish recording a piece, an MP3 shows up here automatically. Audioblogging done this way is a form of [...]
Who’s Reading This Thing?
February 11, 2005 – 7:04 am
Honestly, people are reading it, and it’s not just my Mom and Dad. There is a feature in the software we use for this blog that tracks its traffic. I don’t completely understand (or even incompletely understand, for that matter) the significance of the numbers, but I am learning more about that as [...]
Water
February 10, 2005 – 11:28 am
The ability of man to find, sanitize, and distribute potable water is one of the mandatory benchmarks for a modern industrialized city, in my humble opinion. With perhaps only the exception of providing peace and security to our citizens, the City’s provision of a safe, secure, potable water supply to its citizens is one [...]
A Very Common Question
February 9, 2005 – 7:39 am
A very common question I receive about my weblog is why do I do it. This is how I answer that question:
1. Educate – First and foremost, I want to provide citizens with an insider’s view of City services. I want to educate. I want to show citizens the various factors that [...]
