I went to Caracas for a few days of intense work with El Universal. Mostly I was at the Upfront sale for 2009 advertising space, where they exhibited a video starring me. Also got to work on other aspects of my project and see part of the family.

I gave a seminar on Monday at the American Press Institute (API) about the newsroom of the future. It was a quick trip except for a cancelled flight on Sunday that almost made me loose the conference entirely. Fortunately they rerouted me to a different airport and after a long taxi ride I made it to the hotel.

The conference went very well, the audience was engaged and I got many congratulations and requests for contact information.

Here are some pictures of the trip. Click on them to see them larger:

The Hyatts are very good for me because they come iPod ready with a bedside radio and inputs on the TV
