Arrived at the Hotel

Luckily, my flight was on time out of IAD and on time landing at ORD. The Hyatt Regency is nice. It is where we held the council meetings at Annual this past summer. It is fairly massive. Hopefully finding things tomorrow will be easy. I have started to see signs, so I am confident I will find things ok.

I am loving my 32 inch flat screen in my room, I must say. However, I have to get on my soapbox here. Hotels are doing well putting in nice displays. But the picture is still bad, just bigger. Will hotels ever start using HD feeds to maximize the utility of the nice equipment they are installing? I am sure a Professional AV person could help them with that. :)

Anyway, I am looking forward to the sessions tomorrow. I just wish there were more of me here so I could go to more sessions.

I agree whole heartedly with the HDTV comment...the picture looks horrible stretched out in standard definition but hopefully soon that'll change with Over the Air standard def going away in 14 months or so. The rooms at the hotel are great though!

Where do you draw the line on social media?

I try to keep up. I have a feed reader . I blog . I comment on other people's blogs. I tweet . I have multiple websites . I have accounts on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and others. But you have to draw the line somewhere. I wrote earlier about being app'd out . I still feel that way. But each day I feel farther behind. Maybe not behind, but not necessarily maximizing potential. I don't Digg. I don't StumbleUpon. OK, maybe I do like once a month if I have some spare time. But I know I am missing out on a lot of cool things. I usually check out other people's links to cool tools or the next new thing. But right now, I feel like I am in the Dip . Any suggestions on how to get out?

10 Thoughts on #ASAE10

Ok, so I could have spelled out the title, but chose the hashtag - #asae10. Supposedly there were over 8,000 tweets with the hashtag, but probably countless more direct messages of messages that left out the hashtag but were conference related. Two years ago, we were using twitter as a backchannel to talk about speakers. Now, over 800 people sent conference related tweets. If you aren't on Twitter, you are already late to the party. Anyway, on with the post... In no particular order, my thoughts on this years ASAE Annual Conference: 1. LA was a good venue. Lots to do. Hotels close by. Only downside was the rooms were a bit of a hike. 2. I missed Sunday because of family obligations. That really put me behind the 8 ball. Since I led a session, that meant I only got to go to 3 true sessions. Sorry, I don't count Joy Behar and the closing session. Although Marshall Goldsmith was good, I probably wouldn't have gone to see that speech as a Learning Lab. 3. Based on #...

I have a new job

I am so very excited to announce that as of Oct. 13, I will be the new Executive Director of the Arlington Soccer Association . This is the perfect opportunity for my to combine my work experience and my education (I have a Masters in Sports Administration) with one of my true passions, soccer. I played in college and still play several times a week (which may change since I will most likely be a touch busier.) I still plan on writing this blog. My guess is that you will see the topics change slightly to focus less on membership and more on overall association management areas. Thank you to all who have helped me along the way. I don't want to list names for fear of leaving anyone out, because Lord knows there are a lot. Wish me luck!
