scale talk etc
November 22, 2003
Well… Just got done talking at SCALE. It just made me wish even more that I wasn’t missing a day of the summit. Ah well, its important to respect your commitments, right? Felt isolated, didn’t know anybody. Talk went well, I feel, though of course I was speaking on a pretty controversial topic (or at least my premise was controversial). *shrug* Anyway, it sucked to get off the plane, find no-one there (my bad, I stupidly assumed I would be met) pay for a shuttle to the convention center… Hang around not knowing anybody for 4 hours (on 4 hrs sleep, mind you), give a stressful talk wherein half the questions were either complaints about things I can’t change or age-old annoying rants (some very good comments/questions too tho), and then watch everybody leave the expo and make my back to the airport alone….(actually, on the bus to the airport now 
oh, one thing positive that came out of this was I learned how invaluable having wireless internet connectivity is for getting info in strange situations. Id be at my wits end now w/o a cell phone (and inet was icing on the cake).
the past is behind me…. New York Ho (hm, make that “ny bound”)
