Back online…
Wouldn’t you know it? Something happened to the anvil server on Wednesday and I just now got it up and going following the remote directions Tim gave me. Prior to this moment, it just would not work. Those are the things I want to learn! The calendar is a little strange and pictures are not working right but that, hopefully, can be fixed later. Alright! Back online, hooray! Isn’t it insane how disconnected you feel when you can’t get to your blog? I’m not going to think too long about what that means. 
NECC was absolutely great this year and weblogging is in the spotlight! Between a workshop, a presentation, and trying to attend as many sessions as possible I had a tough time blogging. By the time I could get to it, something exciting would come up and I’d have to put it off. I didn’t want to miss anything so now I’m plowing through my notes and will make some belated posts very soon. The best part, for me, was getting to talk to the folks in our weblog workshop and then talking to others as I was out and about.
Then Will’s segment on the Intel keynote was the best! Craig Barrett is really something. He’s a CEO to remember. Intel does such good things for education…. check out the Intel Innovation in Education site. I loved what he had to say. I have to find my notes from that session.
The interest in weblogs is high and I think we are going to see lots of weblogs forming. I’m hopeful that students will be in that mix. I know it’s going to be an exciting year as new voices enter the weblogging world.
