Not-so-live blogging Science Online ‘09
I’m about to set off for day 2 of the Science Online ‘09, an “unconference” on science blogging and the use of other new technologies in the teaching, learning, and conduct of science. I was supposed to live-blog the events, and I tried dutifully, but about an hour in the network at the conference site was slashdotted by the attendees (apparently, the network was overwhelmed by 200 technogeeks getting online by WiFi all at once). Coupled with the fascinating, but relentless schedule, and dinner, and accidentally falling asleep after getting back to my hotel room, and I have a lot of catching up to do on the whole “tape-delay-blogging.” Like, all of Day 1.
I plan to post a series entries covering the sessions I attended (along with, of course, any other interesting things that popped up), and my reflections, thoughts, and mental perambulations from the point of view of a science librarian. I can’t promise that they’ll make you gasp in dawning understanding, but there’s some interesting stuff in there.
Stay tuned for more posts on Science Online ‘09!
