After listening to a few of the questions, it's obvious the platform is going to be a success. There are some initial problems, like running around the room with a mic instead of having two so the people live can have their own.I'm not a big Chris Cannon fan. I've never thought he has done a whole lot for the state of Utah. He answers like a politician though. I'm sure it can't be easy to throw yourself into a room of people taking shots at your policies and voting record.Oh look, Pete Ashdown is in the room. Hey Pete! Pete...

First post on ConventionNext
Just getting started, logging into the website (conventionnext.politic20.com). There are a lot more questions now than there were at 11PM last night.The really cool thing about this website and the questions that should be asked on the guest, in this case Congressman Chris Cannon from Utah's 3rd District, are ranked similar to Digg.

I will probably have an elevated number of posts tomorrow...

The benefits of networking; will you tell me again?
First let me start out by saying this is a little off topic for me, but I've wanted to write on it for a while. Personal networking. It's something I've used for years. Here is my take on personal networks, branding and all the you/me/we mantra that has been floating around.I've been building my network of people and companies since 1988.

The Dell Axim has seen its last day
Engadget is reporting that Dell has removed links for its Axim series PDA. I admit, I've owned two models, the x5 and x51v. Both were great. The x51v was a monster amongst its competitors. If the x51v would have had a smart phone I would never have given it up. So long Axim. What will the the AximSite d...
