From the original blog post: "Talking with Steve Gillmor this afternoon, he got on my case, again. Where are your audio blog posts, he wanted to know. I said there was a technical glitch, but I think I've solved it. So here's a new audio blog post, thanks to Steve for the motivation."

In this podcast, from July 11, 2004, I get back on track. I was driving, at the beginning saying it was "live from NY." I don't know where I was coming from or going to, and I don't want to take that too literally but it sounds like I was in NY.

Speaking very softly, very unusual. I talk like the world is falling apart, this was shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which are now pretty faded out, but we hadn't been through Trump 1 yet, or Covid, or Hillary's emails, all that crazy shit. Obama was still just a state senator from Illinois I think?

I didn't like Michael Moore, said he lies -- I bet I was right about that but I don't remember. These days I think of Michael Moore as a hero, but even now he says and does things I question, so it's good to remember.

I made it very clear up front and in the end that Steve Gillmor had been nagging me to do another audio blog post. It's in the description of the podcast on my blog. So thanks to Steve for that.

I said something about postponing the election? I have no recollection of that, and spoiler -- the election was not postponed unless I'm dreaming this whole thing.

According to Foreign Policy, Bush did consider postponing the election, fearing terrorist attack.

I'm so glad I listened to this one. I have a lot of questions about what is going on. At the end it comes out that I have left Boston. And at the beginning I say I'm in NY. But it sounds like I'm in a car.
