Remember, Remember, the 5th of November

5 11 2009

Today is Guy Fawkes Day, which I’m ok with ignoring, since he was 1. British and 2. possibly a terrorist.  But it did remind me of an entry I wrote for a blog I had before this one, We Are Publius.  I started it back while I was still involved in Citizens for Global Solutions because I wanted to write, because I specifically wanted to read the Federalist Papers and chronicle them, and because I thought it would be interesting to discuss federalism from a more… liberal perspective than the Federalist Society.  It was a pretty successful blog, at least in terms of my commitment to it, but it ended up being too narrow for my purposes, and I eventually switched to the EI.  Still, the work I did there, and with CGS, helped push me towards the work I’m doing now at Georgetown, and with D&S.com.  Maybe someday I’ll get back to it.

In the meantime, here’s the Guy Fawkes post.

Last Night’s YPFP Event with Adm. Mike Mullen

12 03 2009

Last night I helped live-tweet YPFP’s event with Adm. Mullen. The turnout for members and media alike was incredible, with CNN covering the event, as well as several other media outlets, and of course, Twitter (for those of you who were at the event, I was the one on the laptop, looking like I was ignoring the event). I had intended to write up a full report on the event to be posted, but as the number of people writing about it grows, I’ve decided to limit myself to my own reactions. (For real-time coverage of Mullen’s talk, search #YPFP on Twitter). Read the rest of this entry »
