quick on my feet
A long day of thinking. And talking. And typing. I love this type of thing...in a room with a lot of smart people talking about tough problems trying to figure out solutions. For whatever reason I have evolved into a bit of an "agent provocateur", or as I described at a Digital Hollywood conference once (pickedup by NY Times online even), "I poke people with sharp sticks."
Today was talkin' portals and education. And to complicate matters, I'm supposed to write some brilliant analytical piece after the fact, so I was furiously taking notes (on a wiki of course), along with trying to participate. Then the obligatory dinner (with some wine) where I really get to push the envelope. But hey, I've had a non-typical life with a non-typical path/trajectory...I don't have much choice but to "think different." Not sure how much of what I say I actually believe, but that's what happens when you talk/think off the top of your head. If nothing else it is entertaining (for me if no one else) and maybe raises some issues and ideas that wouldn't otherwise come up. I mean, why else would a Porsche BBS come up in conversation about educational resources :-p
