California Women for Obama

On Thursday night I attended a political gathering, sponsored by the group Good Ol' Girls,  at the Blue Space art gallery in San Francisco. Speakers from the campaigns of three candidates for president — Phil Ting, co-chair, California Asian Pacific Islanders for Hillary Clinton; Jeff Soukup, California co-chair of the John Edwards campaign, and a spokesperson for Barack Obama — gave short presentations to a crowd of about 30 women, and then answered questions.

Here's a 6-minute video of the talk given by Margaret Richardson, director of California Women for Obama.

Last month the Aspen Institute brought 29 thought leaders in the mobile space together during a three-day event, Mobile Media and Civic Engagement. On the final day I interviewed Charlie Firestone, executive director of the Aspen Institute's Communications and Society program about the conference and the broader program.

Here's the 4-minute interview, captured with my new Canon HV-20 high-def camcorder. I apologize for the less than optimal lighting and sound.
