It seems that yesterday I didn’t bother to mark my posts with “IL05” which might have led to some confusion as I received an e-mail from a vendor wondering about in which context I mentioned his product. (It was in my notes from one of yesterday’s presentations.) So, today, for those benefit of those of you finding individual posts without the benefit of context I’ll be marking all my titles in hopes of pointing people in the right direction.
As for what I’ve been up to at the conference since yesterday evening, I had a wonderful dinner of Wild Boar Stew at a local British pub down the street. (Unfortunately, I don’t recall the name of the place) with Karen (Houston, TX) and Amanda (Cortland, NY). Despite a potential gathering of the very interesting at the hotel bar, I decided to call it a night and collapse for a full eight hours of sleep.
After this morning’s keynote, I’ll be in the Steinbeck Forum for Track A: Communities & Collaboration (i.e. Bogging) all day. I do believe that there will be live WiFi in that room so I’ll be able to blog live. Hopefully, there’ll be a seat near an outlet so I can plug the laptop in all day as I did yesterday.
