Who I’ve seen so far at ConvergeSouth
It’s 11:27 a.m., I’m sitting in the Robert and Maryam Scoble session on “10 ways to a killer blog.” Nice thing about these sorts of meetings is I get to catch up with people I don’t see (especially in the real world) very often.
So far, I’ve had a chance to catch up, at least briefly, with Ed Cone, Anton Zuiker, Herb and Susan Everett, Mark Binker, Jon Ham (my boss from the late ’90s when I was at The Herald-Sun), Lex Alexander (am I forgetting anyone?). I also got a chance to meet Sue Polinsky, who I’ve talked to on the phone several times but had never met in person.
I’m also following Robert and Maryam’s tip No. 4: “Link to other blogs.”

It’s very weird to write to you when we’re in the same room, but thanks for coming!

I’m sure lots of other people will agree with me when I say thank you for coming. Didn’t you say that was the first time you and Maryam had presented together? You should do it more often. The two of you did a great job; you were funny, entertaining, engaging.

Good to see you, too! I’m sorry we haven’t seen more of each other on campus, but I’m not sorry this is my last semester!
The Scobles were great together. We’re sorry we had to leave early, but we wanted to catch a little of the other session before heading out to our daughter’s soccer match.

I understand, Herb. It’s tough with little kids to find time for these things. I did want to show you my newest toy — a 15″ MacBook Pro. And I know you’re looking forward to getting that diploma. Two more years for me. Sigh …

Mark, great to catch up with you, and let’s not wait until the next conference (science blogging in Chapel Hill on Jan 20th?) to meet over coffee and chat.

We’ll definitely have to get together before that, Anton. It was good to see you and get caught up.
