So I made it … finally! And yes, Mom, I am alive. Most of today was spent inside The Denver Post’s newsroom attempting to learn yet another new pagination system (Hermes, this time). I’m lucky enough to be working with a great group of people, and have already met many interesting folks such as a delegate from abroad on the rental car bus, and many of my Bay Area News Group colleagues who are also working at the Post this week.

Needless to say, the Post building is pretty amazing. It’s smack in the middle of Denver’s civic center area, and therefore in the middle of all the DNC action

Here’s a view from the balcony of the Post building (which also houses the Rocky Mountain News and Media News Group’s headquarters):

There’s one other photo on my stream from the protests this afternoon. I’ll have many more tomorrow, as I’m meeting up with the Merc’s Mary Anne Ostrom to help shoot some photos/video to go with her upcoming story.

So that’s all for tonight. I’m here at my fantastic host home, with the nicest kitty in the world sleeping on my feet.
