If you believe (and actually, I do) that challenges lead to greater creativity, then there will be no more creative place the next week than CPSI. Our campus location is currently undergoing three different construction projects, which means that just walking from one unfamiliar building to the next is challenging. OtherDoorsIF.JPG


And, the university's wireless broadband network is not open to conference participants, which means that when most of the participants get here today, they'll be vying for space in the computer lab, or will be going on down to A Fine Grind like I have been doing.

As far as blogging's concerned, I'm set -- the Ethnographic Team has a mutimedia room available for our use, and On-Site Reseach's tech guru has managed to get a hub set up for us to connect to. So let the conference reports commence!
