A Visit to Ted's Anchorage Campaign Office



That was on Tuesday afternoon. Yesterday this YouTube was featured as the header of my article at the national progressive blog, firedoglake, where we concluded the two-week long poetry contest there, called TedFest! Earlier in the afternoon, I was the guest, along with KSKA/KAKM's John Proffitt, on a KSKA Community Forum program about blogging.

John is very savvy on web-based content. As we sat there across from Nellie Moore, answering her questions for listeners, John was blogging away, both at the base site for the program, and at his own blog, Gravity Medium. I had my laptop on too, and based on a comment from caller Bill Hess, I updated Progressive Alaska, to give Bill the photo credit for his amazing photograph taken of Latseen and Diane Benson, taken almost twenty years ago.

What a pleasure, working within the course of two days, with Nellie Moore, John Proffitt, Dennis Zaki, and the exceptional people at firedoglake. And making the guerrilla YouTube at the top here was a lot of fun. Both Dennis and I are getting a lot of positive feedback. Looks like Don and Sean get our treatment next, folks.

And - I'm hoping to introduce one of Alaska's finest new progressive voices to our readers here soon......

Phil -- I can barely hear what you are saying. Is there any way to make the volume louder? I want to be able to hear the young intern's tears as you mercilessly pummel him with "toobz."

When will you tell us about Sean's imploding campaign?

fyi: that's not an intern. Patrick Kerley is the online communications director, who previously worked for Stevens in DC. He knows how the tubes work.

ET-

Thanks for all the work you put into the Ted Fest at FDL. Every entry I read was a gem. It was great fun, but also educational. I was certainly scrambling to keep up with all of the allusions- teh google got a good workout!

And thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and took it to the next level- the YouTube making, and so forth.

Veni, vidi, Veco!
