On my agenda this weekend is the '08 edition of the Grassroots Use of Technology conference, happening up in Lowell. I was a volunteer at the conference back in '04 and '05, but I've been out of town for the last couple.
This year I'll be wearing my IT Manager hat & looking to pick people's brains particularly about mass emailing, online donations, and fundraisining tools.
Thursday was the fifth day in a row crude prices have set new records.

Heating oil prices not looking so good lately, either.
I have nothing further to add about the high profile portions of the upcoming Massachusetts election. My thoughts about the less widely covered parts:
Green-Rainbow endorsed Jill Stein for Secretary of State, because the person in charge of state elections ought to show up for his own debates.
The brand-new Working Families party endorsed Rand Wilson for Auditor. Fascinating interview with Wilson here.
On a related topic, I'm voting yes on question two. Good discussion in the interview above; an example of how it's worked in New York here.
Also voting yes on question three, for these reasons.
