I'm not able to attend or listen, so I greatly appreciate your notes. I look forward to it.
The online streaming should work in a virtual machine running Windows on a Mac.
I appreciate your notes! My little ones don't sit still long enough for me to be able to watch the streaming, so I am grateful for your efforts. Thank you! I am particularly looking forward to today's topics.
Good job on the notes, Blair.
Tired hands!
Any Thoughts on "Square Two" I read it was introduced at Fair?
I thought their presentation overly and overtly promotional, personally. I think it would have fit the purposes of the conference much better if they had simply presented a paper or argument from SquareTwo and perhaps parenthetically explained the new venture. Instead, the presentation explained SquareTwo and didn't do much else. It seemed too much like a commercial.
My Wife spent a good portion of the afternoon laughing about how square two takes itself so seriously, and yet produced this review of enchanted.
