4PM touring the media tents
Sunday, August 24, 2008 by Dave Winer.
It's super hot outside, but the press puts on a good show. 
Found free workspace, fast Ethernet and power. Happy blogger.
Now I'm looking for Google's tent, and the unassigned media tent (which is what bloggers are, officially, at the DNC).
Lots of the landscape is familiar, and it was true I'd need to re-experience it to recall the memories.
The photos from this part of the day's exploration begin here.
