I went to the blogging drop in center to do a little reflecting and type up a few blog entries. Unfortunately, I was so busy talking with people like Jim Wenzloff, Jack McLeod, and Will Richardson that I never got a chance to! Then I went to the afternoon reflection time and was going to do some serious blogging there, but I got into a conversation with Alan and got wrapped up in the discussion, so I didn’t get a chance to do much there.
Heh, isn’t that an awful problem to have? Too much great social, live, real interaction to have time to blog much.
What a wonderful problem to have! Like Will said, “The blogosphere is great, but it’s also a lot of fun to get to spend some time with people who I read on a daily basis. And to learn with them as well…”
The moral boys and girls? Don’t forget the truly social part of social networking.
I’ve been feeling the same way at conferences (and academic residencies) this year. Enjoy the face-to-face time! Maybe jot down a few ideas (I email unfishined ideas to myself - from my blackberry if I’m not sitting at a terminal) and then blog about it later, after you’ve had time for the reflection part. 
‘Wish I were there to meet and talk with everyone, too.
