Post-Internet-Librarian, I worked for one frantic day and then went to the ALA fall muckety-muck meeting, so I didn’t get a chance to do the big ol’ summary of What Went Right, and What Went Right. (Though Friday’s news about Scooter made me itch to post my Schadenfreude right there during a meeting.)
Since this was a drive-by conference for me, I only heard one talk–Liz Lawley’s (fab!)–but I picked up a lot of the bibliofreude in various hallways. I also got some quality time with Jenny Levine, John Kupersmith, Michael Stephens, and Liz Lawley. The conference summaries from Blog People Jenny, Michael, and Liz are really good, John, a fellow traveler in the biblioblogosphere, introduced me to a Google Guy (which has led to an invitation to the Googleplex; be still my heart!), and it was interesting reading the blogging of my presentation, which I feared sucked badly, since I’m rusty on the topic, but seems to have gone all right. (As Mark “Mr. Wils” Beatty opined Friday, sometimes the topics we’re rusty at are the best ones to speak about, because we aren’t blase.)
My favorite moments: drooling over Jenny’s video iPod (I don’t know what I would do with one, but I wanted it immediately; it’s geek crack); dinner with Michael and Jenny; Liz talking about Lifehacker.org (how nice to see a woman elbowing into the whole life-hack hoo-ha); posing for the Flickr group, Librarians with Giant Calculators; learning that Biscuit, John Kupersmith’s parrot, had been found. (Ruby the Wonder Dog has more Web presence, but Biscuit is nonetheless beloved.)
Anyhoo, I’m seriously behind on My Craft and panicking as I write, so I’m afraid lavish summaries ain’t happening. On, on to the workshop…
