Phew! What a trip! We've already had a pair of screenings at CES and in Washington D.C. for our documentary (made by the awesome folks at NimbleBot!)
More to come, as well as a pay-what-you-want beautiful high-quality and DRM-free download.
Thanks for all the continued support of our campaign to show off the USA's magnificent internet economy.
Aglocal is using the open internet to revolutionize farming in America -- supply meets demand when responsible meat producers connect with meat eaters. Here's CEO Naithan Jones talking about the next era of the internet. His company is founded and run from Kansas City, MO.

Iowa Internet Uncaucus 2012
Today we're headed to Des Moines, Iowa, for the Iowa Internet Uncaucus with Dwolla! What's an uncaucus? Check it out here.
Over a hundred students from the Raikes School at University of Nebraska packed an auditorium to hear us discuss the future of education with an open internet. I called their representative during the Q&A session to show off the fabulous Contact Congress iPhone app and left a polite voicemail asking if he'd defend internet freedom.
It also was a chance for Adam of LocalMotors to show off the Rally Fighter -- you should've seen the jaws drop when he explained the awesome car her parked out front was designed by people all over the internet -- and Robert to talk about AgLocal, two startups that joined our bus tour and are doing real disruption thanks to the net in industries you may not expect: automotive and farming.
Really enjoyed chatting with all the students afterward, who informed me that Nebraska football fans are widely known as some of the friendliest in football. I realized at that moment that I'm probably not nice enough to be a Cornhusker, but now I really want to be back here for a game.
Whether transporting beer or data, freedom from regulation is a timeless American value. Artwork by Erik Martin.
Quick stop in Kearney, Nebraska on our way to Lincoln! We've seen snow, cows, and quite a few internet freedom supporters along the way -- we met quite a few truckers here who were excited to hear about the Internet 2012 campaign.
Buzzfeed captured this moment in an article titled "The Internet's March on Washington." We had a great meetup & panel discussion in Boulder about why startups should "give a shit" about politics -- just like everything on the internet, some great ideas started surfacing from the crowd and then this happened:
At an event held in Boulder, CO, on Thursday night, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit and key figure in the online fight against the controversial SOPA and PIPA bills earlier this year, shared a loose thought: "This may be a terrible idea," he volunteered, "but what if we chose a day to 'geek bomb' DC, and we scheduled meetings with representatives and senators?" He went on. What if we "brought in geeks from every one of their districts, for one day, to talk specifically about these issues?"
His language instantly became less conditional. "It'll be [an] organized setup, kind of like a flash mob on DC," he said.
"A national Geek Day."
And just like that, we see how Reddit's next chapter will start: in politics.
Well Internet, we'll see where this takes us...
Dancing Robot Party!
Dancing robot party at Modular Robotics in Boulder!
Should startups give a shit about politics? What do you think the future of technology + politics looks like? Tell us what you think in the comments and we'll discuss it at tonight's event: http://dld.bz/bPhaE (Photo by Mike Falzone! http://twitter.com/mikefalzone)
We're Headed to Boulder!

We'll be checking out out Modular Robotics, Foundry Group, and going to Simple Energy for our "Startups + Politics: Why you should give a shit" panel. Then we'll be capping it off with a Grubwithus meal.
There are still a few tickets left for the panel tonight. Get yours here!
This was the first time I personally laid eyes on the bus. It was spectacular.
