Pop!Tech conference update:For weeks leading up to the conference the local educational access channel had been promising to have a schedule up.

Y’know there have been damn few posts where I write just about something on my mind. I’m always reacting to something else I’ve seen or read. Usually elsewhere on the blogosphere.When it comes to spouting off opinions, I haven’t had the desire to launch into talking about things cold. I’m seized by the “perfecting the […]
(from Instapundit.com )Glenn, the notorious hyperblogger finally gets his intervention:Halley Suitt and Adam Curry showed up, declared that they were staging an intervention of the sort that Andrew Sullivan said I needed, and made me stop blogging and have a drink.
