Seybold dinner outing
Doc, Dave, and other journalists, bloggers, and others will be meeting at 7pm tonight at
Henry’s Hunan,
924 Sansome Street (note the address - Henry’s has three locations) in San Francisco, for dinner and talk. Please join us if you can.

But until we can link to some Afghan webcams or bloggers in Baghdad, there’s a big hole in the conversation. Our use of the word we doesn’t really mean all of us.
