The presentations are up, so if you missed the conference, you can at least get the gui center. Get it…gui center…I KILL ME! Thanks tons to Lori Packer for getting that done so quickly (and check out her blog for the fun pics I took of her at the conference).
subtitle: Disjointed and sleep deprived.
It’s all over. We’ve packed up the boxes and tabulated the results and eaten our final meal together. I’ve posted ‘Post Mortem’ photos on Flickr, but only a few.

I did manage to go purchase luggage. Go me. Now hopefully I will make it to Shreveport with all the items I put into said luggage. It would be nice.
I sat in on a post-conference session on usability methods for higher education. I’ll try to remember enough of it tomorrow to post something coherent and intelligent, which would admittedly be a first.
I did find out something slighly surreal today. Karine Joly (of CollegeWebEditor fame) reads my blog and knew who I was (i.e. Eironae) as soon as she saw my name tag. So, since she’s effectively my only readership…hiya Karine :)
Tuesday…wow.
Sessions were good. We got blown away by a couple today. I have to say that all of our AUD track presenters have been absolutely amazing. Steph and I totally lucked out. You guys rocked the house.
I learned something today. 3″ heels are ok for work, only the truly disturbed wear them at conferences. I’m an idiot. Luckily, this is not my big take-away.
Chris Nixon and I have connected a bit over the last couple of days. Funny that it took a trip to NY to let me finally meet another Arkansas higher ed web geek. I think we’re going to at least attempt a couple of interesting projects, including setting up some type of higher ed web organization for our counterparts statewide.
The announcement was made today that we’re moving the conference to Missouri next year. I’m told they put forth an extraordinary proposal and are apparently uniquely equipped to handle a group of this type/size. I look forward to working on that further.
Club 23 has been a blast…we even got a guy with a lampshade on his head. I say that makes a successful party.
Breakfast is at 7:30 am, and it’s already 2. Flickr shots are up. There has been revenge photo backlash for my shutterbugedness…but hopefully a few pics of me WITHOUT a drink in my hand :)
