Smells Like Tech Spirit

Looking back on today’s T+L activities I wonder why I’m not asleep standing up, sitting down, or in a fetal position. The day started at 7:00 a.m. when I met with a number of folks to discuss Green Computing as a part of the new CoSN Green Computing initiative. This is one of the really cool parts of T+L. It seems that each year I get invited to participate in some sort of discussion group that could have far reaching outcomes. I think we all need to consider what we can do to reduce power consumption, packaging, trash, and to address the responsible disposal of technology equipment.
I finally got some time to wander around the vendor exhibits. I gathered some info on some products I was interested in but did not see everything I was looking for. Oh well, I will make some other arrangements when I get back home.
A highlight for me was attending the TLN Luncheon where this year’s Salute Districts and other awards are given out. We were on the 35th floor of the Sheraton. What a view! Ann Flynn mentioned that this part of the conference is always like a family reunion (only better) because past Salute districts attend. It is nice to always see old friends at this event.
We wrapped up the day time activities at the day’s featured speaker session with Joe Caruso. Joe had some inspirational stories, and some stories, and some more stories…and wrapped it up with……some stories!
Now I am relaxing a bit before I catch the bus to the TLN Special Event at the Experience Music Project. Hey…the Phillies just won the World Series!
