Actual, interesting convention news has been slow, to me at least, as of late. So sorry for the shortage of posts. But alas, when things are boring, you can always count on the rivalry between Microsoft and Google to make a stir.

In February, the RNCC chose Google as their "official innovation provider" to make this year's convention, the most "tech-savvy in history." I believe that's a direct quote.

Not to be outdone, one of its rivals, Microsoft, signed with the DNCC to be their official software and "HD Web content provider." Via New Digital Computer, Microsoft said the DNCC picked them to "create a technically flawless event and engage more people in the Convention experience using cutting-edge technology."

Hmm. Sounds mighty familiar. We'll see in August/September who's convention really is the most technically savvy/flawless/cutting-edge and, just plain amazing.
