First impressions of my Kindle DX, which arrived today. And a comparison of screen contract among the Kindle 1, Kindle 2, and DX. Plus: the DX's cursor seems to be a lot speedier moving up and down the page, compared with the Kindle 2.

I am helping out with transportation of the umpires for the race, which will involve more than 7,000 rowers.

Today's anti-abortion protest at the gate to the Pepsi Center perimeter was peaceful and orderly, thanks to preparation by both police and protesters. As I spent time editing these clips, I felt pride in America's Constitutional protection of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, along with common sense limits to such freedoms such as not permitting protesters to block others from getting

Howard Dean answered a question about Arizona at a blogger BBQ today inside the perimeter of the Pepsi Center. I had a chance to attend as a guest of Dave Winer.This video and others I've done from the Democratic National Convention are being picked up by TheUptake, which has a talented video wizard, Michael McIntee, working late to get new content on their site.

With my Perimeter pass, I thought I'd see how close to the Pepsi Center I could get on my Segway this evening. The Secret Service had a very clear answer for me.Note: DNC 4, a video of Dave Winer waiting in line yesterday at the Pepsi Center, ran afoul of technical difficulties so had to be pulled. You can see The Uptake's version of it here.

My Segway is a great way to navigate DNC events, especially a media party at Elitch Gardens last night (August 23, 2008). Someone who knew his way around a camera saw me videoing myself and offered to take a long shot, and he added an artistic touch with a closeup of the wheel. So thanks to my anonymous helper!

My mother took me to the Boston Flower Exchange in December, 2006, looking for flowers for an event at her home. For this week's podcast episode, I revisted the video that I shot that day and created this portrait of a remarkable woman. The way she hunts for flowers tells a lot about the way she lives her life - with tenacity, originality, and grace. She's been battling MS for 40 years. I

Ever since I was a boy, I've been coming to Ocean Park, Maine, a Baptist retreat community founded in 1881. What's particularly cool about Ocean Park, I've always thought, is that the very next beach is Old Orchard, a decidedly secular enclave of fried dough, scary rides, and questionable games of chance.

After a hiatus of more than 35 years, I returned to the Charles River this week for some rowing. As a new member of the Cambridge Boat Club, I took out a wherry, a training boat which is less tippy than the sleek, lightweight singles. My hands somehow remembered how to work the oars and feather the blades without difficulty. I rowed on the Charles for six years between the ages of 12 and 18,
