Mutual Interview with Colin Delany
While at Netroots Nation, I will agree with Kevin, I too found it difficult to blog. we were all over the place, and when we weren't it was because we passed out after 2-3am. I have tons of video and lots of notes I'll be reporting this week, but let me start with the best.
Colin Delany, of E-Politics and TechPresidents, two blogs I quite honestly live on and link to a lot, and whose Online Politics 101 manual I refer people to often, and I found each other at the same fundraiser for Young Voters PAC the last night of NN08.
Colin pulled out his swanky new video camera which he later told me only cost him $175 and records about an hour of video, and started to talk to me about how I got started blogging and what was my most read blog. After a few minutes I noticed that we were really having more of a conversation than an interview, so I decided to pull out my camera. It turned into the first mutual interview I've ever seen and people around us enjoyed the sight.
Following this, of course, we had an extensive conversation about things that should not be posted on this blog. Enjoy, just posted it so it should be active soon, but I'm boarding the flight home.
