http://scanblog.blogspot.com/2006/11/ala-midwinter-events_01.html Alane posts about the upcoming Blogger’s Salon and OCLC Symposium at ALA Midwinter in Seattle: It’s back!! We will be hosting a Blog Salon at ALA Midwinter in Seattle. It will be on Friday, January 19th at the Sheraton Hotel in the “Blue Suite.” Should we start it earlyish, say 5:30pm, so people can go for dinner afterwards? Or should we start it at 7, so people can go for dinner first? If you’ve attended a Salon before you will recall that the suite number in the hotel is unknown to us until we all arrive in Seattle in […]

PLCMC Technology Summit: Library 2.0 Originally uploaded by mstephens7.

Do you believe it? Lost on the train in Holland — at the end of the line no less, somehow the camera and phone disappeared in but were then turned in 2 weeks later.

(It was easier than wiring over $100 have them shipped to me) I will get them from Rob when we meet in London in just a few days! Thanks Rob! The photo card has all the Holland trip pictures on it! Hooray!
I just finished up an hour talk on technology trends for the folks at the LIANZA meeting in Wellington. I was chatting with the audience via VoIP from my office on campus at Dominican. I shot some photos with the MacBook Pro as well: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelsphotos/264394325/ I’m fascinated by the fact that Timothy Grieg was taking pictures and within an hour had them up on Flickr, so I could see what the room and the projection looked like. The world seems very small when we can meet and chat across distance and time. I also added Timothy as a contact, favorited […]
