I apologize to all of you about writing so rarely during the last couple weeks, but I’ve been spending crazy amounts of time working on our NewTeeVee Live conference, to be held November 14 in San Francisco. Today we posted our tentative schedule for the event. There are obviously some gaps to fill in the next couple weeks, but we’re pretty thrilled about what we’ve nailed down so far.
