Webmaster Jam Session - First Impressions

September 22nd, 2006  |  by Erica  |  published in Misc.

What’s impressed me so far:

The venue
The refreshments (Starbuck’s Frappuccino’s…TOO COOL)
The A/V Setup
The Conference Attendee’s

What I Would Prefer to See:

More hands on information, and less HISTORY (I already know the History of CSS ;))
More opportunities for small group discussions

More to come later…

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block.  Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography.  Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

 

Check. And Check.

 

Sometimes life just works out.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
