Our very own Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski–he of the arched eyebrow–did such a good job live-blogging our own fifth D: All Things Digital conference this year that we thought we would step up our game and send him out and about more often.

First stop, Apple’s special event today, starting at 10 a.m. PDT, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, where Steve Jobs will yawn and all hell will break loose. We know, it’s some iPod news–and we are probably using the term “news” rather loosely here–but John will be on the case in text and video!

And there will be more exciting, you-are-there-but-not-really live blogging ahead from John, such as the upcoming Web 2.0 conference, helmed by John Battelle and Tim O’Reilly and also in San Francisco, in mid-October.

Now, it seems, both John and BoomTown will have to be in the front seat with our eyes wide open for that event, given that Web 2.0 will announce today that News Corp. Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch (and new owner of Dow Jones and, by extension, this site) and MySpace Co-Founder Chris DeWolfe will be delivering its dinner keynote on opening night Oct. 17.

I think the NSA has a job to do and we need the NSA. But as (physicist) Robert Oppenheimer said, “When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and argue about what to do about it only after you’ve had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.”
