Eating cereal, drinking tea and collecting my thoughts before I drive out to Fairfax, VA for the Innovations in eLearning conference.
Pretty excited about this one, and have been since I discovered I could actually MAKE both conferences.
Actually, if I was given a choice between the two and couldn't do this cool two-conferences-in-a-week thing, I would have gone to this one.
Innovations in eLearning is a MUCH smaller conference. No expos, no one shilling stuff, better quality free lunches. Just a couple hundred people focused on eLearning.
And some really really big names.
I don't know what Mark O and the gang did to bribe Robert Scoble and Will Wright (Spore, SimCity) to come to this thing. Didn't even ADVERTISE Scoble. Only one of the biggest blogger/social media guys out there....
Last year's talk by Sid Meier (Civilization)got me into gaming.
Really looking forward to this year.

i *was* sort of given the choice between ASTD and IEL, and I'm glad I chose IEL. More bang for the back, I say.
After attending both - I firmly agree. IeL is DEFINITELY more bang for the buck.
Already told my employers that I would rather go to Educause next year if they want me to go to a big conference.
Honestly - I think I'm happier at the small ones.
Enjoyed finally meeting you in person! Hope to see you at the next IeL.
