beamjockeyC-SPAN is set of cable-TV channels (I think they also appear on satellite receivers) devoted to government affairs and other public-interest stuff. I keep an eye on the C-SPAN listings to spot interesting lectures and such. Usually they announce this stuff on pretty short notice.
Today at 6:30 PM EST, 5:30 here in the Central Time Zone, we are promised that David Weinberger, Research Fellow, Harvard Law School, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, will speak on "Digital Future: Blogging" at the Library of Congress. The blurb:
Mr. Weinberger will discuss how and in which situations Web logs, or blogs, work and how and why they are valuable in children's education.
The series "Managing Knowledge and Creativity in a Digital Context" will examine how the digital age is changing the most basic ways information is organized and classified. The goal is to educate the public on what the digital age means to their lives. The events will include a featured speaker, followed by a panel discussion, and a question and answer session with the audience at the venue, and C-SPAN television viewers who email questions to the experts at digital@loc.gov.
Mr. Weinberger served as a senior Internet adviser to the 2004 Howard Dean presidential campaign. He is the coauthor of The Cluetrain Manifesto (Perseus, 2000) and the author of Small Pieces, Loosely Joined: A Unified Theory of the Web (Perseus, 2002).
I haven't read these books, but I have heard good things about them. So I may tune in.
