  • Es un milagro! When elevator service retrieved my iPhone, everything worked but home button. So I slammed it on a table. Now she's perfect! #
  • Heh, maybe I should keep calling my phone. Freak out the other hotel guests. #
  • Just dropped my iPhone down an elevator shaft. I mean, really, is that necessary? #
  • In our #pdfeu session, @davidcierco of Spain's Ministry of Industry says he spent €5B on Internet in 4 yrs. Puts U.S.'s $7B in perspective. #
  • If you happen to be in Barcelona's Torre Agbar in the next 15 minutes, come by our #pdfeu session on Internet for all in Breakout B. #
  • Neat Obama mobile project in @Katrinskaya's #pdfeu talk: guy with a bike, a mac, a shortcode, and a projector: http://bit.ly/82KbQz #
  • Observation from Barcelona: tiny ham sandwiches count as breakfast food. Make it cheese sandwiches, and we can talk. #

  • I know I'm sick when I don't find the prospect of free cocktails appealing. #
  • Major points to #pdfeu attendees for asking questions that challenge basic premises. Every conference should be so lucky. #
  • British MP Tom Watson: "I'm a tribal, campaigning politician making the long journey to being a political coversationalist." #pdfeu #
  • Swedish #pdfeu attendee: We're interested in the Obama model, "but we're not interested at all if it doesn't have some sustainability." #
  • .@mlsif! Emergency #pdfeu panel on the idea that the U.S. experience/context is so unique as to be an exception. #
  • Interesting Obama exceptionalism vibe here at #pdfeu. D. Piotet: "He's a fabulous source of inspiration, but EUs have to create own vision." #
  • If you're interested, we're livestreaming audio from PdF Europe, all day today and tomorrow — http://bit.ly/13aRTr #pdfeu #

  • The best part of this story: it's literally posting about what he's having for *breakfast* that saves this guy. http://bit.ly/2T352X #
  • Geekily intrigued by what Sir Tim Berner-Lee is cooking up with the U.K. version of Data.gov. http://bit.ly/4C0wZ9 (Warning: self link) #
  • You know intellectually that tons of campaign $ goes to TV, but then you see the #s, and moonlighting looks appealing. http://bit.ly/3ykf3r #
  • Battle's brewing over whether it's necessary to pasteurize raw oysters. Or as a South Carolina friend says, oyshters. http://bit.ly/1llVNF #
  • The one where I read campaign finance reports — a look at who dropped what on "new media" in Deeds vs. McDonnell. http://bit.ly/3ykf3r #

  • People aren't getting my Gmail emails, which is less than ideal. If you emailed me and no response, I'm probably not ignoring you. Probably. #
  • Voted! #votereport #
