And we’re coming to you live from…the Camden Opera House?

Wha?

Would you believe they let me take this thing on the road? Goodbye Press Herald Plaza newsroom, hello beautiful scenic midcoast Maine.

You may have noticed over the last couple of days things have been in slow-mo mode. No column on Monday, the shocking-but-inevitable lack of a blog yesterday, and where, oh where is the podcast, you ask.

I have answers to all those questions.

Pop!Tech.

The reason I am in Camden, and that things have been a little off schedule this week is because I am coast-side for the annual three-day technology and innovation conference called Pop!Tech. Since the late 1990s, some of the country’s most well-known and up and coming thinkers have gathered to talk about how science, technology and human craftiness can help change some of society’s problems and generally move ahead as race.

Or something like that.

The geek in me is trying not to freak out right now, mostly because the journalist in me has a lot of work ahead. Over the next day I am going to tr my best to live blog some of the sessions and things going on here as I put together interviews and other goodies for the newspaper and the Web site.

If you want to keep track of what’s going on at Pop!Tech, you can also check out the running video stream.

As for some housekeeping, keep a look out this morning for this week’s NXT podcast, where we sneak into a rehearsal of Add Verb Production’s “When Turtles Make Love.”

I’ll check back in later!
