20:17 Not 2 mix bourbon & cranberry, or trust anyone who offers one. RT @codycomposer: What was ur biggest insight from #dl09 (via @briandusablon) #
20:54 had a "seat request" card, but the Sky Club folks secured me a seat. Sky Club is worth every penny. #
20:58 Long day and I seem to be getting sick on top of that. (The sneezing & coughing are a giveaway.) Moving into Grumpy Bear mood. #
21:20 OMG 6 more hours in the airport! Even in the Sky Club, that is a bit extreme. #
22:26 Loved #dl09 this year. And for those of you I see at multiple conferences (you know who you are), I feel like you're my social media family. #
22:27 So Delta Sky Club turned my Seat Request into a window seat and made me a hot toddy with tea & Jack Daniels. Sky Club = worth every penny. #
22:29 Think I left my Dell netbook power cord in the Gold room yesterday after my presentation. #dl09 #
22:42 Goodness. The Sky Club is busy. There are either a lot of redeye flights out of SFO, or everyone is going to Cincinnati. #
22:43 Battery just about dead on the poor Netbook. Time to break out the mobile phone(s). #
22:54 About to watch angsty teen vampire movie on my droid. Wrong on so many levels. #
23:47 Well, I didn't really care for the twilight book. But the movie visualizes the book beatifully. #
00:13 Twilight becomes a really interesting movie for me when I read in layers of subtext that isn't really there. #
01:31 Am about to lose my battle with awakeness; bad since I'm not boarding for at least 80 min #
01:55 Have left the comforting shell of the sky club to venture to my gate - and to whatever store is open & sells cough drops. #
01:59 Wld like to know why all buildings I'm in suddenly seem to be 30 degrees inside? Brrrr.....#sfo #
02:07 Right. So just put my name on a list for a window seat that actually reclines...yeah, I know. Small favors. #
02:28 Finally boarding the plane. Window seat that reclines. Night all! #
06:46 And we landed ... Safe and sound. Am now going to head home and nap alot. #
12:02 After over a week just using my Netbook, my Macbook Pro is suddenly a dream come true. All this screen real estate! #
12:03 Have utterly and completely surrendered to a cold or the flu or something icky. Puts a wrench in my plans tonite. Kevin has to go without me #
12:33 Sad I'm missing Taste of the World tonite @ the Aquarium. (I don't want to spread my germs.) Sending hubby in my place ... #
12:40 RT @ckjchambers: via @rww twurl.nl/e3elgj 40% friend brands on facebk, 25% follow brands on twttr. main reason for exclusive offers. #
17:05 RT @AlwaysBreaking: New blog post: Community Makes the Difference at DevLearn09 tinyurl.com/ycwck7o #dl09 #

12:22 RT @edwsonoma @GuildMeister #dl09 Hmmm Brands are for the ignorant? Really? Seems to me they are a lot like metadata. #
12:29 I believe eric schmidt of google said "don't fight the internet" #dl09 #
12:39 My favorite recurring line this wk: "oh! I follow you on twitter!" Instant friendships. #dl09 #
13:43 Why oh why does sjc security not have an expert traveller line? #
13:52 Sigh. There is an art to airport security. Why do ppl make it so hard? #
14:14 Bye everyone! Had a fabulous time, met great ppl, and I'll see you all on Twitter! #dl09 #
14:19 "Metrics are a defensive posture of those who cannot define success" From Dublin's talk. #dl09 (via @nlkilkenny) #
14:31 Twitter Sticks With New Retweet Format, Despite Complaints - Switched (blog) bit.ly/1116PM (via @Britopian) #
15:35 Looks like I'm in san Jose a bonus night. I took a bump and am flying out tomorrow.#dl09 #
18:28 Flt schedule rearranged again. Waiting for shuttle to sfo to take a redeye home. #
18:29 On the upside, I can spend my 6 extra hours at sfo in the sky club... #

16:32 Oh god, I'm fading. Nooooo ... need energy. My session is next! #dl09 #

19:26 have decided to skip out on last session (a panel) at #SMWF to get to #dl09 around 6 pm instead. So, 2 sessions to go ... #
20:02 I'm heading out of #smwf, gassing up the car, and heading to #dl09. See you in the lovely bar! #
21:40 Finally at #dl09. Headed to the bar. Need a drink. #
11:51 Having serious connectivity issues at #dl09. *grumble grumble* #
12:13 My ADD is kicking in. #
12:15 Wondering if Enterprise 2.0 is available for the Kindle? #dl09 #
13:15 Crazy first session schedule at #dl09 where I'm going to try to clone myself and be in three places at once. :-) #
13:15 Social Learning Camp with @moehlert has started out as a hit. It's standing room only. #dl09 #
13:16 RT @DL09ZA: Andrew McAfee has a big braaaaaiiiiiinn...nom nom nom #dl09 #

13:55 RT @rdclark 400,000 people in one e-learning group...when Oprah offers it. #dl09-102. Whoa #
13:59 Honestly, I have the attention span of a gnat. #
14:11 twitpic.com/p4w6g - Argh! The fail whale has come to #dl09. Come on twitter, we need you! #
14:27 Interesting. T-mobile used the "best job in the world" template w/ video contest to internally promote the mytouch.#dl09-114 #
14:31 Employees used the device to create the video, thus learning how to use the device. Guerrilla learning - I love it.#dl09-114 #
17:04 Last year I presented at #dl08 on Intro to Twitter. We've come a long way - I'm now in a session on Yammer. How awesome is that?! #dl09 #
17:17 Am constantly amazed at how much marketing and training intersect. Marketing training, yammer, blog internally. ID concepts for marketing... #
17:20 Listening to @bjschone talk about successfully implementing Yammer. #dl09-207 #
17:21 Right. I have 4 phones with me. I just got a text - my whole backpack started vibrating. #
17:33 The screenshots I see of Yammer, w/no text limit & threaded conversations, make it look more like Facebook's news feed than Twitter. #dl09 #
17:36 Waiting rather impatiently for my second wind. Think I'll grab lunch (which I skipped earlier) after this session. #
17:37 RT @TimMoore: How Twitter is Changing the Face of Media bit.ly/1QKW75 #

18:42 RT @lrnchat: Tomorrow night's #lrnchat theme: Scared to pitch social media as a way to help people learn more at work? Start here. #
18:51 Am seriously fighting the urge to curl up and nap in one of these comfy chairs in the Fairmont lounge. Still waiting on my 2nd wind. #
18:52 Have been showing off #Droid, Droid Eris, & BB Storm2 at #dl09. Come find me if you want to play with them. I always have them with me. #

18:40 Sigh. Looks like it will be around 6:30 when I get back to the Fairmont & #dl09. Sounds like a cheese plate (and a Manhattan) in the bar. #

20:04 Why I'm not a fan of my dell mini adaptor... twitpic.com/otu43 #
20:06 Now to find somewhere to eat in santa clara. #
20:22 Not even 5:30 and its dark out. Think I'm taking a book to the hotel restaurant this evening instead of exploring. #
21:45 Not happy that my fancy Santa Clara Hilton doesn't have AMC. No Mad Men season finale! @winebratsf is going to watch it for me. :-) #
21:47 Whenever I'm in a hotel I realize I'm spoiled by Tivo. #
21:52 Note to self: Start traveling with waiters corkscrew instead of T-corkscrew that's been in my luggage forever. #
22:21 Brought a Casillero del Diablo CS 2007, Chile, w/ me to CA. It's a little too green for me - looks like I"ll have to pick up a "local" wine. #
22:49 Just looking at schedule for Social Networking World Forum has exhausted me. #snf Goodness! #
08:36 Wide awake at 3:30 am. Apparently I'm not adjusting to the time change this trip. Today could be a very long day. #snf #dl09 #
09:13 Today's conference is one 30-minute power session after another. No concurrents. 9 am until 7 pm. Exhausted just thinking about it. #
10:13 Forgot my presentation remote. Just ordered one from Amazon, to arrive at the Fairmont on Wednesday. :-) #
10:55 Finally on Google Wave! (Tnx @paulhenrich!) So, is there a wave for DevLearn #dl09? #
12:12 #smwf kicking off with @briansolis introduction. #
12:15 Argh! No place to plug in. I've got about 2 hours of battery life. (The downside of the Dell mini) #
12:17 @brainsolis's latest graphic The Social Compass bit.ly/Xg3Gr #
12:32 Test of the droid. Going to try to take notes on evernote duringthe #smwf morning sessions. #
12:56 #smwf Jesse Goranson from Nielsen Online. Wonder if he's based in Cincinnati too? #
13:38 Why do we not have FourSquare for Cincinnati? Indianapolis and Cleveland, but not Cincinnati? #
13:58 Argh! Completely unable to send imap mail from my droid. Why is this no longer working? #
14:16 Killed a few more #dl09za zombies (#dl09) while on a break at #smwf. Multi-conference tasking... #
14:18 Wishing I could present at #dl09 on all the great information I'm getting at #smwf. Is it too late to change my session topic? ;-) #
17:34 So great meeting @briansolis and @jacobm in person after all this time. #
17:37 Getting started with the afternoon session at #smwf. I'm apparently not adjusting to the time change all that well. #
17:54 Looks like I'll have some free time tomorrow afternoon. What wineries are near me here in Santa Clara / San Jose? #

10:52 Wondering what all I should disable on Win 7 to make it all less annoying ... #
11:03 Installing all the random Web-downloadable programs I need before dealing with ISO files. So far, so good. So far, pretty speedy. #
11:07 Installed: Firefox, Dropbox, Xmarks, AVG. Still need Fitbit, Calibre, Acrobat Pro, and Office. Sigh. #
11:15 Thunderbird for email, then the big programs, and I'm done. Of course, still have to set all the email accounts up and such, but still .. #
