ChocoNancy Shows Her ChocoLove
Originally uploaded by cogdogblog
Alan Levine, aka Cogdog, took this funny picture of me while we were at a “tweet-up” dinner at EdMedia 09 in Hawaii in June. I really enjoyed the dinner, new friends, conversation, and of course the chocolate cake.
Consider this a gratuitously off topic Fourth of July post!
Ostensibly, a conference – Ed-Media– brought me to Hawaii, but my blogging quietude is more about some vacation time. (Pictures slowly arriving on Flickr).
Here in Honolulu, It has been fun to meet some online buddies (from blogs, Twitter, etc.) like George Siemens, CogDog, Kristina Hoeppner and Tony Hirst.
The talk was yesterday, so I thought I’d share the slides. Supposedly there will be a recording, but I suspect that no one turned on the recording. 😉
I found the crowd attentive but very quiet. Not very emotive or getting engaged with questions. Not a chuckle when I made a BING joke! It could be that this was day one and people aren’t quite warmed up. Afterward I had some great conversations with people which reassured me that at least a few people really were awake. After all, it was a presentation. It would be great to be able to do something more interactive and perhaps I can push myself harder to do that in the future. Anyway, here are the artifacts – a wiki with some links and the slides.

June 10th I’ll be joining the good folks at WebJunction to do an hour on technology stewardship in/at libraries. The full official details are below, but I also wanted to add that I’ll have two special guests who will make the difference – two librarians who work with these issues of technology and community every day in their work. Together, we’ll “keep it real” with stories and practices from the stacks, so to speak! If you are a librarian or library junkie, join us!

Darn, it happens every year. I think about my blogaversary AFTER it happens. May 26, 2004, this blog was born (albeit on a Blogger platform). You can see the archives here: Full Circle Online Interaction Blog: 05/01/2004 – 06/01/2004.
I’m still having fun.
Webheads in Action announces their WiAOC 2009: Webheads in Action Online unConvergence, May 22-24, 2009. I’m not sure what an unConvergence is… I was kind of hopeing we’d have moments of convergence, but divergence is also good, eh?
I’ll be on (via Elluminate) tomorrow, Friday, May 22 at 15:00 GMT (that’s 8am PDT) talking about technology stewardship. (slides below.) You can find all the details on the organizational Wiki: http://wiaoc09.pbwiki.com.
Participation is FREE, but they encourage people to register on their Ning site. http://webheadsinaction.ning.com. All organizers and presenters are volunteers.
