Due To Technical Difficulties.....

Unfortunately, due to my speech to text software that I have and a glitch in my recording, my transcript from my Dion interview will take a little longer than I thought. I hope there was only the one recording glitch but I haven't heard the entire recording yet. I will try to transcribe it manually but it will take a little bit longer. Please be patient with me as I will try to get it up as soon as possible.

Dion in E-Town

Well, Stephane Dion was in Edmonton today and I promised that I would get an interview and I got it. It was supposed to be a 20 minute interview, but time constraints dropped it down to 10 minutes. My interview time with him was close to an hour and every question I asked got answered. I was going to ask 22 questions, but since I occupied so much of his time, I shortened it down to 18 I think. Anyways, I downloaded the recording onto my computer and I am going to transcribe it tomorrow. I am really tired now since I have been up since 7am and I had only 5 hours sleep that night. I am going to try to post the actual recordings but I am not sure how to do it yet. Once I find out a good way to do it I will post that as well...along with pictures of the night which will be e-mailed to me by Matt Naylor later this week. Anyways, more on this tomorrow as I am going to bed now.

Last Chance People

This is the last chance to get your questions answered by Mr. Stephane Dion on Sunday. I am conducting and interview with him and I want to get some other people's questions to make it more involved with the blogging community. Please post your questions on my blog, or e-mail them to me and I will try to get them all asked. I have several already, but I do have a good chunk of his time so I will have a lot of opportunity to ask him questions. So, don't be shy, ask away. It doesn't matter what the question is, if you got one for him, tell me and I'll ask him. If this goes well, I am gonna put a request to all the other leaders for an interview and do it all over again with them.

**Update, I officially got my time for my interview with Stepahne Dion. It will be on Monday at 6:00pm**
**Up to 22 Questions now keep them coming...I am getting repeats but still send them as I will give you cred for asking the question**

I finally finished it

I finally finished my budget assessment that I started back in May......damn I'm lazy.

I ain't dead yet!!!

Ok, the tales of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I have just gotten very, very, very lazy over the last little while. Well, I am gonna post religiously over the next little bit as I prepare for a very important event on my blog. What is it you may ask, well, it is my first ever one-on-one interview with a Liberal candidate. Since the conference call that happened at the end of May was a bust for me due to the schedule changes Mr. Dion had, I was unable to attend it. I did get a major compensation package though by getting a chance for an exclusive (to political blogs by people named Milan) one-on-one with Mr. Dion when he comes to Edmonton this Sunday. Which means, I have to look busy and somewhat professional on my blog if he decides to visit it. I am gonna transcribe the entire interview and post it on my blog for everyone to read. I will also try to record it into mp3 and have the audio available as well.

If anyone has any questions you want me to ask Mr. Dion, please let me know by writing them in my comments. I will try to ask as many of them as possible but I am sure that I will have a time constraint and I may not be able to ask them all. Anyways, I am going to update my child care post and finally finish it.
