I just got in, an hour late. (And I had to get up at 4:30AM to be this late. Sigh.) So I missed the opening presentation. But I’ll be able to get the gist from the many blogs being written here. For example, Denise covers it really well. Nice on-the-fly writing!

But we’re off to a great start: I ran into AKMA at the airport so we took a cab here. In the hall at registration was Eric Norlin, high on ideas and DayQuil. AKMA opened the door to the hall where the keynotes are being given and who’s sitting on the aisle but Doc, I believe next to Denise Howell (whom I’ve never met). This will be fun. [I just read Doc’s blog, and, yes, he says he’s sitting next to Denise. Howdy, Denise!

I’ll be blogging the conference for the Boston Globe over at DigitalMass. Sorry to split between two sites, but I’m a writer so I like to be published. (No, I don’t know the relationship between globe.com and digitalmass.com. There is some relationship. If I had to guess, I’d say that digitalmass is the tech site for globe.com)

One good incidental effect of the Globe.com system is that they aren’t yet set up to let me post directly, so I have to do it by sending email to their very helpful Web guy. So, I’ll have to do batch posting as opposed to real time blogging. This is good because it will discipline me into writing retrospective chunks (“Watch out, dude, that guy just spewed retrospective chunks!”) rather than a set of running notes; I tend to get unreflective when taking notes.

The guy from GM is now talking, describing the complexities of GM’s IT/Web infrastructure: over 2M subscribers to thheir Business Web, etc.

Wait, I’m doing running notes! Noooooooo!
