I also had guilt pains when I found out some of the people I had encouraged to join/attend were not able to get in, yet there I was adding to the mayhem. But I do get brownie points b/c an administrator from IT in the district office contacted me last week to say they saw me in the chat room in the recording they watched later. WOOT! Like Diane, I concentrated on the streaming chat since much of David's talk was a rephrasing of both Keynote 06 and 07. What was MORE interesting was the thoughts that folks were sharing in response to Dave. I also picked up a few more twitter friends and RSS feeds (as if I really needed that.) I won't complain though, b/c that is what this is all about--to model social networking for the good of all. Chris, I agree w/ the assessment of like being ADD on Steroids.

Recognized some names from my RSS feed - found it hard to keep up and keep track. I'm a mature newcomer to the blogosphere, and I sometimes find it hard to keep up with the younguns. Guess it's good training for the classroom! Had a blast; am recuperating with white wine. What a great age we live in! diane Chris,

Had a blast; am recuperating with white wine.
