Brian at Votes, Bits & Bytes Conference

So its been a while since I've had a chance to blog about my uber-cool brother, but there I was reading Joi's blog and saw that the conference he was going to in Boston sounded super cool.

The Internet & Society 2004 conference, entitled "Votes, Bits, and Bytes," takes place over three days, December 9 - 11, 2004, on the Harvard campus. 

The conference title asks, "Can the web make young people care about politics?" The site explains that "the purpose of this conference is to take a skeptical, results-oriented look at the current state of politics after the 2004 election and from an international perspective in terms of issue-based campaigns, emerging business models, and new tools that affect politics both online and off."

I was just starting to email Brian to see if he'd be attending (and if so that he should say hi to Joi) when I noticed that (no surprise) he's actually one of the speakers (along with a lot of other very cool folks -- including one of my all-time fav's, Robert Putnam). Way to go B... and a pretty cool way to spend your birthday!
