Live blogging a legislative blogging seminar

I'm here posting and talking live from the NCSL Fall Forum here in San Diego, where we're discussing how technology can be used for the benefit of legislators and other government officials. Unlike other similar programs I've done, just about everyone here in the audience has some sort of Internet presence...mostly on Facebook (at least). One of the most fascinating presentations came from Jon Heining, legislative counsel in Texas, about legal pitfalls from blogging. There are all sorts of things to watch out for, from constitutional issues to defematory posts to political missteps that'll become a part of your permanent record, all with the punch of a button. Other presenters include Sen. Pamela Gorman (AZ) and Rep. Fiona Ma (CA).

Here's a link to the live blog of NCSL's The Thicket, being posted by Karl Kurtz, who's next to me on the podium here.
