You get the assignment because you were crazy enough to speak up... I tremble at the thought of what you and Jim might do in combination. I'd help, but I have no answers :) I agree with you except that I don’t see online activities facilitating those hallway conversations… we need content at conferences that is designed to stir things up and get people connected and then provide adequate space and time for those connections to solidify.

I am haplessly unorganized and could not plan my way out of a paper bag. I am not even convinced at this point of the value of agenda crammed conferences- I love the social parts, the hallway conversations, etc, so why do we need the other pomp and circumstance? It falls on all of us to push for change. Everyone. Not just the barking idiot. Why does this fall on Jim and me? I am haplessly unorganized and could not plan my way out of a paper bag.

Now I have to reference you and your good comments too! If only my brain held the contents of the library and the web in their entirety, and I only needed to summon memory, not the Google search or the oh-so-primitive word-of-mouth...
