very little free time

What little free time I've been given at the NDT and CEDA nationals, will now be devoted to a slew of interviews that I've managed to acquire.

I now have 8 confirmed interviews (two of which are debaters from the CEDA/Wichita debate, a third of which was a judge in the debate) that are set to happen over the 10 days that I will be in California.

I'd like to take the focus largely off the debate itself/post-round discussion, and turn it instead to what it represents, that is to say, the resulting lack of cameras, behavioral/communicative changes in the debate community.

It isn't my intention to take on the entire debate community and question our habits, or to place blame or fault on anyone involved in the video, but rather, that I'd like to be able to move past that- to show that we as a community have learned, have grown, and are actively engaging technology and what it stands for to question and understand the role it plays in debate.

In the meantime, its back to reading about nuclear weapons, RevCon, and cutting politics updates about health care and job reform.
