The only event scheduled for today was a panel discussion in the evening on “Talking Technology to Humans.” It was alright, if not exactly a topic that held my interest too much.

Mike and I decided to try making some quick and dirty podcasts of each day using a new microphone that he obtained. The result of our first attempt for Day 0 is linked below. The quality isn’t great, but it was our first attempt and done with nothing more than Audacity, a Macbook, and a microphone.

The real events start tomorrow. I’m not sure if I will live blog like last year. That’s pretty hard and my battery is unlikely to last the entire day, but I will at least take some notes and post when I can.

I listened to it on my commute home last night and I found it truly inspiring. The discussion ranged from how our media system is broken and how we can fix it, to the U.S. Presidential elections in 2008 and specific comments on NPR‘s current use of podcasting.

I was especially interested in the media discussion. For a long time, I’ve felt that the media system in this country is incredibly corrupt and broken and I found great hope in podcasting and blogging as mechanisms for more civil discussion and public participation regarding the big issues and problems we face today.

If you haven’t listened to the podcast yet, do yourself a favor and subscribe to the feed and spend the hour or so to listen in. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
