Wildfires and Supermarket Sweep in San Antonio
The lightning has struck in San Antonio, and the sparks are flying. My presentation blog and hundreds of Ning discussions, blog posts, wikis, and web sites are ready to go for the weekend and next week. NECC is here. For those blogging the conference, the Spanning the Gap presentation has its own tag: n08s722. I will set up an RSS feed for any blog posts tagged for this presentation to show in the sidebar of that blog and here, as well.
For the next two weeks or more, the fires will light up the Internet, cell phones, twits, and every gadget known to techdom. Fortunately, there is no risk to human life or property, just wallets and brains.
I will try to blog some sessions during the conference, as well.
In the meantime, I need to spend some time looking at the conference planner and deciding (or not being able to decide) which sessions are my top choices. I wish there were some way to slow NECC down so I could absorb it better. It reminds me of the old game show, Supermarket Sweep. The contestants run up and down the aisles for a short (too short) period of allotted time, grabbing everything they can of value. Then they run to the check out just in time to beat the clock, hoping they have selected the best (and most valuable) collection of stuff.
I hope I find some lobster in my NECC cart. What is in yours?
