Long day.. I woke at 4:30 this morning to take a meeting with some friends in india… I had hoped to go back to sleep after the call.. But i wss so wound up, i couldn't.. So i got out of bed and started working.. My next call was 6:30 am.. Id had 2 meetings by the time gabe woke up at 7 am..

One of the hilight s of my day was a really nice intersection between my hacker self and my work self. I was the keynote speaker at the first Vermont open data conference. On the same day, burlington announced that they are going to be hosting a Socrata-based open data site. Win !

It was so great sitting with all these folks from local gov, universities, startups, industry… Etc, there are so many different ideas and motivations . This is very good learnign for my day job.. And great inspirationfor some of our civic hacking.. I think this is going to turn into a really good group..

Ok.. Gotta get some sleep this week.. Climbing a mountain early in the morning. More on that tomorrow,

Nite all, nite sam
