Glad you asked. This is my first bold step into Publishing 2.0. As the publisher of this new e-book edition I’ve had a blast commissioning a new cover as well as working with e-book guru Joshua Tallent who formatted the manuscript for Kindle. So far, I’m pleased with how easy it is to use Amazon’s DTP (Digital Text Platform) although it was a bit frustrating at first.

So how do you discuss that which cannot be discussed in polite conversation? Namely, obesity. Southwest Air even uses the words "delicate policy" to describe how employees should handle a supersize passenger who requires two seats. The incident this week with director Kevin Smith (whom I’ve never heard of but who has 1.6 million Twitter followers) raises two difficult questions:

Thanks also to our sponsor, Neighborhood America, a company that has been doing
Do you love cupcakes? Groove on social networking? Don’t miss the next Sweets and Tweets on Nov. 17, 2009. I’ve invited the inimitable @cheeky_geeky (aka Mark Drapeau) to talk about social networking, the two dirtiest words in Government 2.0. Social networking on Facebook, Twitter, etc. is not about being social or frivolous or wasting time. Social networking can improve the process of government.

I also use this blog as a whiteboard to work out my thinking on other subjects, such as Government 2.0 and Publishing 2.0. I welcome your Comments if they are on topic.
