Reporting for The UpTake: Massachusetts Primary

Here's a 23:41 video of my LIVE broadcast from Boston Beer Works on Primary night 2/5/08.

It was the first integrated LIVE broadcast between Qik and Mogulus. I was excited to be able to work with both companies to make this happen. Thanks a lot. It gives us a glimpse of the future.

You can go to the page on Qik for this video and see all the comments I was getting while broadcasting live from my Nokia N95-3 cellphone over the 3G network to Qik. Comments people make while I am online get streamed to the phone where I can read them while shooting the video.

The stream was then directed to Mogulus which broadcast my stream live to The UpTake viewers.

After I ended the stream the video was posted to Seesmic, where people could post video replies around the video and have a conversation about it.

Looking for the Massachusetts Primary Ballot Online

I called the office of William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to see where a copy of Tuesday's Massachusetts Primary Ballot is online so I can take a look at it prior to voting.

This is the phone call I just had with Secretary Galvin's office :

Me: Where can I see a copy of the ballot online?

Them: Which ballot?

Me: Tuesday's Primary

Them: I don't know if that's online yet. Can you hold?

Me: Sure

Time passes.

Them: Can you check back on Friday? It should be up then.

Me: OK. Thanks. Bye.

In the last election, an online ballot was never posted.
