\nJournal Entry October 10, 2005, New York Law School, New York City, New York State, United States of America, Planet Earth: For the last view days I’ve been participating a conference called State of Play<\/a>, organized by Beth Noveck and David Johnson. This morning, I’ve been walking and thinking about what i would say today at a gathering hosted by Cam Stracher<\/a>, a former student and friend now teaching journalism law at NYLS. I recorded and mixed my thoughts to a message on cyberjournalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n This afternoon i am back in the Millenium Hilton Hotel across from the empty hole of Ground Zero with the talk behind me, but recorded by a video camera operating in the room, its digital feed going i know not where, and by my SONY Walkman (my iRiver got swiped and is gone), its output right here<\/a>. The music is matmos-action-at-a-distance. <\/p>\n Here are my notes, which may help you hear and think and link to what you are listening to. <\/p>\n speak as eon, d of c<\/a>, timetraveller<\/a> when i was an undergraduate i took a course on UNIVAC what does it mean that we can write in bits and leave our mark
