Austin, Here I Come

Published 19 Nov 2005

I am booked, and registered at the Hilton. Doing it in style this time.

The newly posted panel schedule looks interesting, especially this one: “Why Are Women Invisible on the Web: Whose Butts Should We be Kicking?”. While I like to kick ass as much as the next punk rock girl, I wonder if the answer isn’t “our own”.

And look, boss, there is also “The Future of Education in a Digitally Convergent World”, “Serious Games for Learning”, “Web Standards and Search Engines: Searching for Common Ground” (an issue of late), and a session by Peter Moreville, who is the mentor of a friend of mine and I’ve always wanted to hear speak. Plus a great group of .edu folks, standardistas, and party animals that I know are also attending.

Can’t wait!

I’m heading to SXSW, too—we should compare notes on how to apply some of the panel stuff to higher ed.

I’m writing a formal proposal today to turn in, but the chances are very good. Since the Hampton is full, I’ll probably propose the Hilton again – it was so convenient last year!

I’m going to try to go this year (on my own dime), esp. with that panel….

I can’t wait either! If I get too drunk to drive home…can I crash in your room?
