Welp, I worked a poll hard on Tuesday, and here's my recounting (pun intended) of what happened: http://danielklotz.com/2008/11/06/what-i-saw-as-a-poll-watcher/.

Welp, we're going camping this weekend at Raystown Lake in honor of Ben, and anyone is invited. If you need details, let me know. It looks like tents and food will be plentiful. Just bring clothes, a sleeping bag, and a pillow, and you should be fine. A little cash wouldn't hurt.

My less-diaryish blog is going well. I'm getting lots of views and a good stream of comments. In my job, I listen to a lot of people weigh in on a lot of interesting issues, but I'm generally in a role of listener/recorder, so it's nice to have a place to express some of my opinions, observations, and interpretations. Earlier this evening I put together an entry about a new map that shows population density in PA. (Exciting stuff! Right?)

We're thinking seriously about hosting Lancsgiving again this year. Anyone think they're up for it? It will not be for the faint of appetite.

Things are finally calming back to (close to) normal for me. The past two weeks have been incredibly busy with work. Last Thursday and Friday were spent in Philadelphia for our annual board retreat. It was productive and exciting, but it took a lot of work to prepare (it's one of the events I'm responsible for organizing), and then there was the work afterward of wrapping up and catching up (including on sleep!).

I've had more and more opportunities to work on social networking stuff at work... including presenting to our small business group (actually about 80% of our member organizations are small ones) about Twitter, in the context of a program on technology in the workplace.

Our piggies are good... Amanda recently added to their chronicles with a hilarious post on GuineaLynx..

I've started a more serious blog that I think we actually develop a readership this time, at danielklotz.com. I intend to give it a local focus, with the key categories being arts, civic life, data & trends, innovations & ideas, local social, news analysis, and news tips (rumors and bits of info). If you're interested.
