What a blessing: one of my first assignments in journalism school was the debut of the PCJr there in IBM's Manhattan headquarters. Ever since, I've been passionately participating in tech communications. I remember holding the first issue of Wired in my hands and seeing a new revolution on the way; so of course when I got elected to the Lakewood City Council, I became one of the first locally elected officials to blog and use social media. To me, this is all about listening, learning and sharing. History says Homer told his stories around the fire. Today, digital communications are on fire. I love the heat.
