I've been fortunate to spend this weekend in Chicago at Samsphere, a gathering of right-of-center online activists sponsored by the Sam Adams Alliance.

It's going to take some time to process the weekend, but it's been a fantastic experience to interact with people who have decided that it's not enough to just complain about the Right's perceived deficit in the online zone. These folks are making big things happen, and I'm coming away with a scary set of tools to play with.
