Let’s play “Where’s Sonya?”
Can you guess? If you happen to read my Twitter (also referred to as
‘microblogging’ on the sidebar here, you’ll deduce that I’m at a book
conference, in Charleston, SC.
I pinch hit for Abby (who’s sick) by booking a flight then getting on
said flight yesterday.
My talk was on what LibraryThing is, and about social cataloging. I
think it was good – passable. I think it could be great if I get to
practice it more than once.
I thought the presentation went well despite initial laptop problems and the guy talking on his cell to your far left. Did you hear him?
How could I not hear him? I had an internal conversation that went something like this:
“Oh, maybe he needs to quick tell someone he’s in a talk.”
“Nope, he’s still talking.”
“Well, I could halt everything and say something like ‘Hey, buddy, why don’t you take it outside?’ or I could ignore him. I’ll ignore him.”
Then, he was shushed good and proper by surrounding librarians.
