Technology Marches On, Sort Of

Jimmy Breslin, the Newsday columnist who's been writing a column for various New York papers since 1962, brought a cell phone to Boston, where he's writing about the convention. He says his wife made him bring along the phone, but he says he has no idea what the number is.

Walter Mears, the retired Associated Press correspondent who covered presidential campaigns for 46 years, is in Boston producing a weblog for the AP.

My colleague, Steve Outing, wrote about the AP's plans last month in Poynter's E-Media Tidbits column. Mears met with a group of webloggers who have been granted credentials to cover the convention, but he confessed he had no idea how to find his blog online.

I can't find it either. Somebody please send a link if you discover it anywhere.
