the reasons you expressed here about why you felt uncomfortable are the reasons i didn’t attend. i’m not intersted in making a career out of blogging, corporatizing my blog, or identifying as a blogger. i blog because i type faster than i write, and it was a natural progression from my paper-journaling. and, my mom likes it because now that i live several thousand miles from her, she can still keep tabs on me. when i moved away from where i grew up, blogging was away to stay connected, and still is. as for audience…i enjoy my readers as long as they’re nice.

OH MY GOSH… where have you been all my life. You have an amazing breadth of knowlege and interests, views and comments on so many things. Will you autograph my forehead?

I overheard you say you don’t like this but, “…and you’re pretty too!”

I really enjoyed hearing you speak at the Outreach blogging and the Deeply Geeky sessions.

Thank you for the good words. I had no idea my words would strike so many chords.

I have not yet been able to write about my day at the conference, as I want to dedicate more of myself to its coverage than I have access to at the moment. But I hope to be able to hold onto the inspiration and questons it produced.

hope to see you around eggbeater one day.

I am still trying to process how I felt about the whole thing, but I believe it will be along the lines of everything you’ve said in this post — even down to the eggbeater reference, for her comment was outstanding and I regret not saying so to her in person.

Funny, I left feeling the same way. Sort of disconnected to the whole thing. It was weird.

I noticed you wore those arm-warmers. If I was hip enough to do so, I would wear babylegs (www.babylegs.net). Instead, I put them on my baby. But YOU? You are totally cool enough to wear them on your arms.
