Thursday night began the Geek Convention with a room packed full of bloggers watching and writing about the presidential debate. Friday and Saturday bring Woz, Wheaton, Pirillo and an entire cast of alpha geeks reporting in every chance they can."

    I think 'blogging' is now officially an overstretched term.

    This is simply journalism, and I hope the quality and opinion they bring does something to increase signal to noise, unlike blogging in general which tends to decrease it, at least in terms of google.

    I am not against blogging, only the missues of the word.

    This is merely using an interface to publishing for journalistic / commentary purposes.

    If blogging gets tagged onto every single convienient input, we won't ever ssh in or ftp anything - we will blog in securely, and blog that file over there, and blog a message to whats his face.

    Calm down on the blogging!
