Thursday ended with a ‘Meet the Board’ meeting where attendees could come ask the Board questions or present ideas. It went better than last year; smaller room, more attendees, less formal. Wayne Snyder did a nice job as the moderator. We’ll see about getting the full notes posted, but a brief recap of topics from […]
Read more "PASS Summit 2010-Wrap Up"Quick recap of yesterday afternoon: blur! I know I did stuff, but the pace is brisk and I’m just keeping critical notes for follow through. Hard to convey how much fun and tiring it is to continuously interact with different people over the course of a 16 hour day. From breakfast to midnight a lot […]
Read more "PASS Summit 2010-Thursday"Started the day with a work call and some email, then down to Top Pot with Ron Dameron and Aaron Nelson for coffee.

Read more "PASS Summit 2010- Wednesday"I’m writing this Wednesday morning, and it’s hard to describe the feeling of speed that comes with being here this week.

Back to the hotel and get dressed, […]
Read more "PASS Summit 2010-Monday"My day started at 5:15 to get moving for the airport. Arrived right at 2 hours early to find that there was no curbside or self service check-in for Alaska Air. By the time I waited in line to check a bag and then waited in line again for security I made it to the […]
Read more "PASS Summit 2010–Sunday"I wrote the editorial asking what people would have been if they had been born 100 years earlier. It’s a mix of answers, many serious, some humorous, some missing the point of thinking for a minute or two about who they are, with or without technology. It’s a question with no right answer of course, […]

Read more "PASS Summit Keynotes Will Be Streamed Live"There’s no doubt that the PASS Summit is about learning. In just a few days you’ll max out your learning capacity for the week and go home wishing you could take in more! But there’s more to a conference than technology, it’s about people too.
