The audio for the BBC interview from last Monday is available here.

My good friend Ellie Pirelli (pictured in this article) from Washington County apparently made quite a splash at the Yearly Kos blogger conference. I saw Ellie before she left and sent her off with some campaign material and then heard from others about the good work she did there. Ellie, you are an inspiration to us all.

I wish I could have attended Yearly Kos, but there were a couple of campaign opportunities here in the state that were too good to pass up. However, I will be a panelist tonight at the Utah Bloggers Conference. Hope to see you there.

Also, today is the last day you can nominate me in the Map Changers Contest. Your help is much appreciated!

Does the Internet Tear Down Communities?

I just returned from speaking on a panel at the Utah Bloggers conference.  One of the questions asked was: One of the criticisms of the Internet is that it tears down local community ties.  What are  your thought about this?…

In such a fast paced, rapidly growing, and progressive society I only think political blogs will only help to connect disenfranchised groups and individuals with common views, goals and interest. Unfortunately, we already lost a large part of our sense of community. As a whole we turn to government to solve our societal problems and to blame on when things go wrong. We lack confidence as individuals we can make a difference anymore; we have then turned to our interest groups. I think this in part is a cause an effect of rapidly growing big business. After driving back from an YDA conference we went through an array of small towns. I did not find any local grocery markets, gas stations or hardware stores. I found franchises of big businesses. I think SLC is a unique in that there are many small businesses that flourish in progressive parts of the area, however, compare of the amount of large businesses you shop at and if they truly represent who you are. I think the blogs will give individuals a voice again.

Pete, I attended the get-together last night in Sandy and was intrigued by your ideas. I blog for Tim Stay (you sat next to him) at Know More Media and I enjoy discovering other bloggers. I hope you don’t mind if I have a look around your blog!

[…] It’s always good to hear Phil speak. and I didn’t know that the founder of the most worshipped isp in utah is now running for the US Senate. No wonder he looked so geeky. He’s a linux geek! […]

[…] Puisque je débute linguistiquement, autant poursuivre avec un spécialiste : George Lakoff . A cause du contexte électorale (Courrier international) qui commence à occuper quelques blogs ? A côté, j’avais écrit le nom d’Ellie Pirelli ; mais avouez que l’on se perd de plus en plus avec ce Gina Snapshot’s Ellie Pirelli (descendre légèrement dans la page). La mention suivante va-t-elle m’éclairer : Momster (Pete Ashdown) ; retour à des élections. Mais le linguiste dans tout ça ? Reste la dernière indication avec le nom de Markos Moulitsas (Dailykos). Enfin une réponse possible sur Netpolitique ; entre élections et hit-parade blogosphèrien. Moralité : dater ses notes et les rendre plus explicites !… […]
