Hold your horses; BlogWorld posts are coming soon

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I went to BlogWorld last week, but my laptop broke down while I was there and it’s going to take me a while to transfer all my notes from my old-school notepad to my blog. You’ll see something soon.

If you can’t wait that long, head on over to MichealFoley.com. I posted some random photos from the event there.

How I’m (Not) Attending WordCamp Seattle

Of course I miss out on all the cool networking conversations that are going on in the hallways between sessions, but it’s pretty cool that I can follow a lot of what’s going on there and still be close enough to hit up all the event-related parties.

I followed Jeff Pulver’s first 140 Characters Twitter conference in a similar way. I followed it as closely as I could on Twitter in real time, but I had to wait a couple weeks before I could actually watch the conference videos.

The unconference is the best thing to happen to learning junkies like me. I want more!
