62 A Dilly of a Denver Police Commander
Denver Police Commander Debra Dillly heads District 6, the core downtown area. On July 8, 2008 she addressed a meeting of homeowners from three downtown condominium buildings, including the one I live in. She gave the best overview I’ve heard so far of what it’s really going to be like in my neighborhood August 25-28 when the Democratic National Convention comes to town. Now I will how to tell Obama‘s motorcade from President Carter’s, how regular police work will be handled, the effect of the convention on Denver’s homeless population, and what NOT to do if I get tear-gassed.
Note: The audio calls this episode 61, but in fact it’s number 62. Credit the error to sleep deprivation.

- 59 Among the Libertarians
I visited the Libertarian Party national convention this past weekend in Denver. On Sunday night I spoke with Bob Sullentrup, who the next morning was reelected national party secretary. On Monday I returned in time to catch one of the candidates for national chair, Ernest Hancock, and in the hallways I spoke with several delegates who freely expressed their love of freedom, small government and low taxes. I found it invigorating to be among people who hold their beliefs so passionately. It was a refreshing break from the never-ending horserace between my candidate, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, with John McCain waiting in the wings.
The full video of my interview with Bob Sullentrup is available here.
- 60 Waiting for iPhone 3G
On June 10, 2008, the day after Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 3G, I attended a meeting of the Boston PDA User Group (BOSPDAUG) at MIT, where the next iPhone was Topic Number One among the developers and users in attendance. After the meeting, I interviewed the group’s founder, Al Willis, who spoke about the iPhone in China, Apple’s stock price, and when I’ll be able to sync my Getting Things Done (GTD) lists between my Mac and my iPhone. (Answer: soon!)
Music for my podcast is "Going to the Sun" composed and performed by Montana musicians Christine Dickinson, Janet Haarvig, and Matthew Lyon, from their Glacier Journey CD.
