Sorry to miss seeing you there. Maybe next time. It will be the first social media related conference I have ever attended.

SXSW is over spring break, but just too expensive to get down there and stay for that time. I thought about trying to bust my way into Toy Fair, too, since it was in NYC. Sighhh. I like new things and ideas!

And the next time we see you, we can buy you a drink to celebrate what you're working on now. :) There will always be more tech conferences.

This is rather unrelated, but wondering if you had seen this article in the NYTimes yesterday: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/fashion/21webgirls.html?bl&ex=1203829200&en=3e9cf2694e0e6f40&ei=5087%0A" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/fashion/21webgirls.html?bl&ex=1203829200&en=3e9cf2694e0e6f40&ei=5087%0A</a> Aside from the fact that it is in the Fashion section(??), it is interesting.

We enjoy seeing you at conferences but you've worked too hard to get this close to finishing your doctorate. You're right to concentrate on the long-term and avoid short-term distractions for a little bit while you take care of necessary business. The conferences will be held again next year and Dr. boyd will surely be welcome at all of them! Keep working on your dissertation, danah.
