Post-APSA update

Well, I’m back from Canada, and imagine my surprise when I went through my mail upon returning and found out that Matt and I had received the award for the best article published in 2008 (for the “New Media and the Polarization of American Political Discourse” piece in Political Communication). Ironically, the IT & Politics section, which gave the award, notified us in an e-mail I didn’t receive until after I was back in LA, so neither Matt nor I showed up for the awards ceremony. I hope I never go to a conference with such limited internet access again (and turning off the iPhone’s data while in Canada was a crippling blow).

If you didn’t already see them, I’ve got pics from the trip up here. Enjoy!
