Almacy is RightOnline, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
This picture (taken with the 3G iPhone and uploaded via Flickr mobile app) shows (from left – right), former White House eGuru David Almacy, MRC’s Newsbusters Matt Sheffield, and Heritage’s Robert Bluey just before we helped kick-off the premiere conservative netroots nation, RightOnline.
And if you were reading today’s Washington [...]
Leaving DAG with the team for the RightOnline Conference in Austin, Texas.
Slatecard co-founder Sendhil Panchadsaram and I will be speaking on a panel about online fundraising and I’m doing a general panel on how campaigns are using the Internets. Joe and Elizabeth are also speaking on panels — social networking and how non-profits can get [...]
American girl in Paris,

One of my favorite photographs of all time — clearly hanging in my pad. Taken with the iPhone 3G and uploaded with the Flickr mobile app.
I wish the Flickr mobile app had more functionality so that I could take a picture and post directly to DavidAllis.
If you know [...]
I should have told you last night but I was being selfish and wanted to play with it all by myself.
It’s better than I thought. The keypad is easy to type with (even for a BlackBerry bandit like me).
More importantly, I’ve ditched T-mobile who literally employees customer service reps who enjoy wasting my time and [...]
Really digging the studio album for Hercules and Love Affair.
This particularly dancy beat, “Blind,” will keep you going this morning.
Heading to lunch with business partners at Brasserie Beck – 11th and K St.
Obv in a cabbie. He’s listening to WTOP per usual. Clean cab — proof to me rhat he loves his job. Extra dollar for tip.
Politico: Republicans should embrace an Open Internet, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
Michigan Republican Party Chairman Saul Anuzis (check out his blog) and I have an op-ed running in today’s Politico (online and print as you can see in that pic to the right) urging more Republicans to embrace an Open Internet.
My favorite grafs:
The open Internet is [...]
Carrie Sheffield Throws a Curve Ball,
originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
So this past Friday I was interviewed by Carrie Sheffield (that’s her in the pic) of the Washington Times for a story on how Democrats were effectively using the Internet to raise yachtloads of money and what we were doing at Slatecard to help Repubs catch [...]
Wake-up. Get dressed. Walk to Caribou for DAG weekly meeting (first one today). Iced Coffee. Reduced fat banana nut bread (still delish). DAG. Work. Read weekend emails. Work. Press call. New client follow-up. Client conference call. Client conference call. Meeting. Work. Review and finalize DAG proposal of services. Work. Email. IM. Facebook. Blog at DavidAllis.com. [...]
According to my zipcar VW Jetta, it’s 90 degrees in Washington, DC. After brunch in Georgetown there was really only one appropriate way to cool down.
Vineyard Vines for some new trunks (kind of moving out of the “board short” style).
And I’m now resting on a towel after a wicked cannonball in the deep end. [...]
Just wrote up a blog post thanking U.S. Senator Jim DeMint for being the FIRST U.S. Senator to embrace Slatecard.
DeMint’s a big-time leader in the Senate and his embrace and understanding of how technology can, could, and should be used is unrivaled. In many ways, I believe that Sen. DeMint personifies what could be termed [...]
@FrankLuntz MIA,

The problem with the curiosity of folks joining a micro-not-for-everybody-type-of-site like Twitter is that most of those folks don’t stick around long. Or even worse – a staffer sets it up – and then walks away.
Take for example someone I have a ton of respect for, Frank Luntz, or in [...]
Set your watches to 4:30, originally uploaded by whereisthered08.
Clever picture by the WhereistheRed.com crew.
Fortunately, they’ve made their way to my hometown: Columbus, Ohio. Lucky college kids…
So I was walking by the local AT&T this afternoon on my way to check out some new office space at 18th and U St NW for DAG and the line had — finally — died down. In fact, a security officer was now standing at the door informing folks that they were sold out.
However, [...]
I should have a 16GB white iPhone right now but because of the hundred or so iPhone fanboys waiting in line at the AT&T store on L Street near DAG, I had to take a pass.
This is some sort of cruel joke, right?
I’ve literally waited about six months for tomorrow.
All for this. A white one please.
DAGger Caricature, originally uploaded by DavidAll06.
Last night, the owners of the Rookery invited members to have their caricature drawn to be hung on the wall inside the club. This is mine.
When I worked for U.S. Senator George V. Voinovich (R-Ohio) from 2002-2004 as his deputy communications director and later speechwriter, I had the good fortune to sit directly across from one of DC’s best communicators and best people, Marcie Ridgway.
Over those two years and beyond, we became really close friends and colleagues. Together, we experienced [...]
Living two doors down from the P Street Whole Foods could be wearing on me. Everything I buy, out of convenience not choice, ends up being organic.
Shaving cream, toothpaste, etc.
I hope I don’t start eating granola and playing drums in the park.
Just finished a photo shoot with a Washington Post photog for a story coming out sometime this week/end about young Republicans.
I was def playing Guitar Hero III on the Wii for a few of the shots.
Stay tuned.
Indeed, today was slamming busy. As a small businessman, I thrive on that since it always means good things are happening.
For example…
Elizabeth Terrell started as DAG’s third so we had morning fun trying to creatively reconfigure the office space to fit another teammate. But in true DAG open/conversational style, Elizabeth just rolled her seat [...]

It’s good to relax on a nice couch watching The Wire (Season 1, Disc 4, Episode 12) after a day like today. Therefore, I’m Wirelaxing.
Let’s see:
Brunching at Bourbon in Adams Morgan,
Hitting up some new tunes from Crooked Beat (CDs acquired: Welcome to Bollywood — a compilation of various Indian artists, and the new album from [...]
