I was able to roam the exhibits and talk to Miguel, the rep from Neal-Schuman and Amy, the editor at Informatio Today, Inc. currently working on my Blogs & RSS book. (According to her, it’s scheduled to be released in October.) Between the evening conference reception and the speaker’s reception I was able to find just about everyone I was looking for. The Dead & Emerging Technologies session was a fun as always. This year’s theme, Library 2.0. Many a humorous 1.0/2.0 comparrison was made. Stephen Abram went long as usual but none of the attendees (with one or two execptions) complained about him going over time. (I will add that as much as I appreciated all of the speakers, seven of them was a few too many for the 1.5 hour allotted time.)
Next, the post-day gathering at the hotel lounge was as exciting, entertaining, and thought-provoking as usual. There I was finally able to meet both Lorcan Dempsy of OCLC, who’s blog I’ve been admiring for a while now.
I endd up back at my room about midnight with a 6am wakeup. I’ve finished my venti caramel machiato form the starbucks down the street and I’m waiting at the tables near the exhibits for the press room to open for the day. (The blogger’s WiFi is still not working down here. I was told that it had been fixed but I’ve yet to see it.) As soon as I get connected, I’ll be posting this and uploading the rest of my photos from yesterday to flickr.
