return to redmond

I’ve received an invitation to participate in the MSN Search Champs v2 meeting next month in Redmond. So far, I’ve determined that Don Park and David Weinberger were invited back but can’t attend, that Shelley Powers was invited but declined, and that Dave Winer isn’t attending this time.

The guy who writes PalmSolo (whose name escapes me at the moment) is returning this time. I know that Halley Suitt is going, and I heard that Loïc LeMeur was going to be there as well.

Who else? They say they were shooting for more diversity this time (I was the only person there last time who wasn’t a white male), so it will be interesting to see how successful they were.

(And before you ask, no, I don’t know how you can get invited. I’m only an invitee, not an inviter.)

return to redmond redux

In addition to the Search Champs meeting I just posted about, I’ll also be in Redmond next month for MSR’s Social Computing Symposium

Since the two events are less than a week apart, I’m planning on spending the intervening time in the Seattle area to scout out housing options. (July 1st is getting closer and closer…) Would love to get together with Seattle-area friends and fellow bloggers while I’m there!

the blogroll is coming back

A couple people have noticed that the Bloglines link now goes to a list of my students’ blogs, and were unhappy about that.

Not to worry; later this week the blogroll is coming back, in an expandable box on the sidebar so that it doesn’t take over the page for people not that interested in the links.
