Too fast from Greensboro to Milwaukee

I just realized that I stupidly did not notice that my flight to Milwaukee tomorrow is at 6am instead of 6pm and I apparently cannot change that now. So, I am in a panic, trying to get some work done on a Sunday afternoon instead of tomorrow. If you are in Milwaukee, give me a holler - I'll be wondering around town...probably having lunch at a Serbian restaurant, than finding a wifi spot somewhere if possible (actually the Monday program at ASIS&T is more interesting to me than Tuesday, but I would then have to pay the registration to attend). Our Science 2.0 session is on Tuesday early in the morning so if you are there, come by and listen to us.

I also skipped the RENCI/Microsoft meeting altogether - not just that it is uber-formal in its format and structure (lectures and posters with incomprehesible titles), but even the attire is 'business casual' - that's what it says on their ugly, static webpage. In about a century, they may catch up with Scifoo and the 21th century. I'll be glad to show up then, wearing my PLoS t-shirt and engaging in discussion, not formalized feather-preening.

Trying to make up for the lost time, I did not have time yet to write my post about ConvergeSouth, but for now you can see what others have written if you check the convergesouth07 tag on Technorati and see the Flickr pictures tagged as convergesouth2007. I will try to do my post later tonight if I can...

The program of the Microsoft/RENCI conference is now up. They would not let me give a talk, but I'll have to make a poster (using the darned MS Power Point, I guess #$%^&*) which makes me pretty mad. Heck, there is some unknown talking about science blogs instead of me. Who made this…
First, I tentatively reserved a spot for myself for the Science Foo Camp on August 3-5, 2008 in Mountain View, CA. Then, there is nothing for a long time, then three conferences I want to go to, and for all three I have some degree of negotiations about presenting about Open Science or science…
No time to experience Clifford Simak's Wisconsin, but Mocha (124 W. Wisconsin Ave.) in Milwaukee is very comfortable, mocha is excellent and wifi is strong (and free). I'll be able to check in the room in an hour or two and will go to some ASIS&T sessions if I can without a name-badge. Our…
Why do conferences all tend to happen at the same time, hogging a couple of weekends per year, with vast chasms of free time in-between? So, next weekend, there is going to be a lot of science content, including a science blogging session at YearlyKos. You'll be able to meet Tara, Chris, Sean, Ed…
