Watch for live blogging of McMorris Rodgers town hall today
Mid Columbia Tri City Herald
Cathy McMorris Rodgers is having a town hall meeting on health care reform this afternoon in Walla Walla. The meeting is geared toward seniors who have questions about how reform proposals will affect them. Being a Republican it’s unlikely McMorris Rodgers will get the kind of angry backtalk and heckling Democratic lawmakers have faced down across the nation but I’ll be live blogging the meeting just in case sparks do fly. Watch East of the Curtain for live updates starting at 3 p. For anyone who’d like to attend the meeting is in the Parent Child Center at Walla Walla Community College 500 Tausick Way.

IBM building a TV remote that will auto-blog for you?
Baltimore Sun
Engineers at IBM have been developing a TV remote control that can be programmed to auto-blog while you watch whatever it is you want to watch according to the patent filing. How does it work? Let’s take a look at a snippet from the patent filing which was submitted last year but didn’t show up online until April. A viewer selects a media program to view by use of a remote controller with networking capability. Upon the viewer wishing to send a blog posting to a blog the viewer determines whether a tag to be included in the blog posting is to be a pre-existing tag or a custom tag wherein the blog posting comprises program information about the media program useful to identify the media program.
