So since I am not using my iPad...

Who is? And how the hell do I turn this off without a computer or a
phone number? ATT - you are not winning right now.

In other news, duct tape is hard to come by for some reason.

What to do when all of your gear is stolen from your car in #TheDistrict

So last night I left my car parked on the street in Columbia Heights. It's a stupid move, of course, and being too trusting I left my friggin' fancy-ass Chrome bag on the back seat. Fast forward to this morning where we discovered that - gasp - some jerk smashed the left rear window and swiped my computer, ipad, and a variety of other toys. They then threw my external hard drive - in pieces - on the ground near by and had a sort of 'cord party' distributing same all over the neighbors' yards.

My car - and all my phone chargers - are currently a crime scene, which necessarily inhibits my charging of my last remaining electronic device, my Blackberry. I have stolen my host's laptop, and am watching Ghostbusters while awaiting the arrival of the crime scene investigators, who are apparently going to fingerprint my car and all of the bits and pieces of electronica strewn around. Then I get to go to some random repair shop and pay an unexpected number of dollars to get the car window replaced. I'm really excited.

But more to the point, I've been playing phone tag with Apple. Endless phone tag. They say they can't turn on MobileMe remotely - even though I'm willing to pay for them to do so. And because of that - even though the 3G services are on - the cops can't track down my iPad. And because the cops can't track down my iPad, I'm stuck wondering what the hell I'm supposed to do. I've had it for one week, approximately. We spent last weekend using its magical GPS to figure out where we were, get to new places, and spend 12 hours in a car without stopping; editing social media, managing urgent bits of information from the office...

So then I tried AT&T, thinking hey, they manage my data plan - they can turn it on/off and sideways, or hypothetically, you know, find the damn thing. They can't. We're working on 'why' they can't... but for fuck's sake.

More to come.

The Plan for this Evening: The President's Speech + @NewsHour Online

(I will send out our regular update shortly) 

We'll be live streaming President Obama's speech tonight (8p ET) plus the analysis of Shields and Brooks on our homepage and via our Ustream Channel (ustream.tv/pbsnewshour). You're welcome to embed the stream - code at the bottom of this email. We're tinkering with other ways of streaming the show - we'll share those when we're sure they'll work. 

We'll ALSO be doing live blogging and analysis of the speech on our homepage - check out the two (very successful) past attempts (Obama oil speech http://to.pbs.org/dikzqi and SOTU http://to.pbs.org/bVMvwZ) for comparison. 

The livestream will also be available via the Spillcam App on our Facebook page - if you haven't added it yet, you're welcome to get it here. 

Questions? Special requests? Troubleshooting? Get in touch and we'll try to help. 

Thanks!

Good Afternoon from the NewsHour!

Golly I wish I wasn't writing this from a Wal-Mart in Lake Geneva, Wis. For one thing, it's Wal-Mart. For another: I need to be in Arlington tomorrow morning. It's about 850 miles away. We're driving. 

Teleporter. Someone invent one. Seriously. 

Anyway

Back at the Homestead, they tell me the following news will be written up - barring anything breaking: 

Television
Broadcast will lead with a summary of the current state of the Afghanistan war; Margaret Warner (@NewsHourWarner) will sum up the situation on the ground in Iraq (we're still looking for viewer questions, should anyone submit them to you); We talk Tea Parties and the weekend's rallies in Washington; Jeff discusses this year's Emmy awards. 

Online: 

Beck, Palin Rally the Faithful as Other Rallies Focus on MLK Jr. Legacy http://to.pbs.org/9WrfFm 

What do Mark Shields and David Brooks think of the 'Stephen Strasburg phenomenon?' http://to.pbs.org/cqx3ch 
On the Political Checklist (with @JudyWoodruff & @PBSGwen): What will Obama do, now that he's back from vacation. 

If you need something from us email Maureen - mhoch@newshour.org.

Kate
