I'm gearing up to do some live blogging at blogher and NCDD. Over the past year, I've done a lot of live blogging which is basically taking notes at lectures, conferences, and presentations of what was said. Perhaps it may be helpful to others who have not live blogged before. What live blogging tips do you have?

We need to reflect inward and examine our motivations, patterns, and use of technology – understanding when we’re mindful and not.
