Session 7.5 to 7.7-the NECC days
Howdy folks, I have been requested to say a thing or two about the NECC so here it goes:
First it was in San Diego, you cannot beat that. Next year Atlanta June 24-27, start your beggin to your admins now, its well worth it.
Second: the Vendors! 3000 of them. It sure makes a computer geek feel special:-)
Third: the Podcasting sessions. I attended 2 of them and then a session with Dr. Newberry. The first one was jam packed so I was out the door in the hallway listening to it when a lady from Texas grabbed my ear and told me her story, so nothign to report on that one. The second one was called "Podcasting for beginners" I figured I could classify myself as one, being in week 2 of my masters podcasting class, so I went early to get a spot for this one, lets just say that this room was the size of the vendor hall for CUE in Plam Springs. If this was basketball I would have been watching the Harlem Globetrotters, this session had 5 presenters and 4 of them were the "Quote" unquote pioneers of the Podcasting revolution (I am sure it was reall Al Gore though :-)In fact one of the speakers was a guy I reviewed in my week one podcast named Tim Wilson the host of Technosavy go check it out, he has just about all the cool stuff I need to tell you there.... I have to log out back later...
...Ok, I am back, the Blogger site was scheduled to go down at 4pm and I noticed it was 3:57 on my cpu and did not want to lose the post.
Next was a session with Dr. Newberry and his fellow doctors from University of Kansas. We talked about the events of the NECC and briefly about the session they were holding, I was the only attendee that understood what they were talking about (actuall I was the only one there ). We adjourned for Lunch and then it was vendor time.
Total session attended: 3
Total time in vendors: 13.25 hours!
You must go to NECC :-)

You will like Mr. Savy. As for the trading the perfect climate of the Coachella Valley, I would say you have been in the Sun too long. :-)
