NECC: It will soon be time for me to fly.
Sometimes having no time at all is an absolutely wonderful problem to have. I have notes from several workshops that I just don’t have time to post. I have a podcast recorded that I still need to upload. I have drafts of two or three blog entries that need to be finished off.
But there’s also people to see and a few more sessions to attend before I take off at 2:30pm. I’m trying to squeeze every last minute out of this conference and will be racing direclty from Warlick’s podcasting session to the Taxi stand at the Marriott in order to make my flight. Because of this, i just realized that there’s no way I’ll be able to post anything else before I get back to Chicago.
So this is my fond farewell to NECC 2005. It’s been a great conference. My memories really revolve around the people I’ve met and the conversations I’ve had, although some of the sessions were notable as well.
If you aren’t a regular reader and have just been tuning in for NECC, thanks for hanging around. It’s been a pleasure sharing this little journey with you.

Hope you made it Steve,
I’m sitting in PHL because 6:30 apparently wasn’t early enough to make a 9:00 flight.
I am about to go on a WIFI rant too.
No Free WIFI here, the poor WIFI service at NECC and Philadelphia’s public WIFI project, that I attempted to use with limited sucess.
I think you should consider an episode on when does WIFI become mainstream!
The $10/Day service here at the airport and the $9-16/day at the average high end hotel doesn’t make it.
On a positive note: my final thought from NECC
(I don’t know if the Mastercard Commercial is something you see on a regular basis but….)
Conference registation – $225
Travel, hotel, food, and cab rides – $3,457
Taking to people that really care about this stuff – PRICELESS.

I agree Bill….my 5pm flight took off just after 8:30 and I never got the WiFi to work at the airport. Only $3,457….you got off cheap

I could have stayed to see the end of Warlick’s podcasting session, had a nice bite to eat and smoked a cigar before I had to be at the airport. The plane took off two hours late and then sat on the runaway for another hour.
I completely concur though Bill, the conversations that occurred through the last week were absolutely priceless.
