Hope to see you at TPRC53 at American Univ. I'm moderating a session on Saturday, 2pm on User Generated Content. Speakers are Anna Lenhart, Jae Sang Rhee, and Anna Oriishi. Looking forward to leading thinkers & practitioners and good snacks! TPRC tprcweb.com

Today at TPRC -- a great day!! 3rd photo is the secretary-general of ITU, the luncheon speaker; and then a panel on competition that includes 2 officials from the Administration. TPRC

Arguably the most valuable part of TPRC are all the conversations that happen between sessions! It’s inspiring to see the collaboration and trading of ideas. 💡

Another great TPRC! So that concludes TPRC53 at American Univ Law School. This also concludes my tenure on the Board of Directors and thus I received the highly coveted TPRC chocolate. Looking forward to TPRC54; hopefully I'll get it together to submit a proposal. TPRC

"National Archives Displays Entire Constitution for First Time" in The Wall Street Journal, print edition for Wednesday. I will make an effort to take a look!

"Trump upbraids U.N. in speech, claiming ‘your countries are going to hell’" -- I watched the speech. In an hour, you get an overall sense of his current view of the U.S. and the world, in his notable unvarnished style. But, yes, it was something. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Just made it to Chicago for a day on the way to Berkeley. Looking forward to being on campus on Friday and speaking about public policy. Given the current times, what the hell am I going to say?? ischool.berkeley.edu/events/2025/10…

Getting steps in at SFO airport and saw this. Sky Terrace cafe, employee cafe. Such a tasteful facade--so respectful for employees. Hope the inside is nice too!

Moldova's pro-EU party and president won yesterday's vote decisively and will remain in power.

On Friday, I was on the Berkeley campus to give a talk as part of the iSchool's 107th birthday. Happy to meet up with Patty Wong, former ALA President and City Librarian of Santa Clara, Calif.

FCC reverses e-rate eligibility for library hotspot lending and wifi on school buses. This is going backwards in terms of technology access. Library and school activity occurs beyond the walls of these institutions (duh). ala.org/news/2025/09/a…
