June has been a busy month, with lots of travel, writing (by hand, on paper), thinking, speaking, sharing and enjoying these great United States (Colorado, Wyoming, New York, Virginia and Washington, D.C. to be specific).  So busy, in fact, that it is now July and I haven’t had the chance to record any thoughts here on my blog.

Two quick shares as we all head into the long weekend:

On June 18th, I joined DC-area radio talent from MIX, WMAL and WTOP on a panel hosted by News Generation titled “The New Rules of Engagement: Tips, Tools and Techniques for Building Radio Relationships in the Era of New Media.”  More details on the News Generation blog Capital Buzz.

On June 29th and 30th, I attended Personal Democracy Forum in New York.  It was, as always, an amazing experience.  I plan to write up a more filled out post after I reflect a bit more, but for the time being, here is an interview I did with the Air America digital team, which is headed up by former DC’ers and truly rising / current stars in the online / new media / activism space Michael Bassik and Jen Nedeau.  I discuss why I love going to PdF and my thoughts on social media, technology, politics and gender.
