Quiet again
Sorry for the quiet here after just having been on vacation, but I'm in Chicago for AARP's National Event. Up until the last minute, I waffled on whether to bring the iBook, but finally decided to go without. I experimented Wednesday with the hotel's WebTV interface (bandwidth was good, but the resolution sucked...try doing anything useful--like email--with an effective resolution of about 400x300 and a keyboard that can handle about 10wpm). Today I'm at McCormick, and enjoying sole access to Gateway's setup in the exhibit hall...at least until it opens in two hours! Last night Amy Lee and I had a great time with about 25 folks from the local UPA chapter (see her hubby Mike's moblog post). She did the formal presentation, and afterwards we had a rousing panel discussion. Thanks to Joi and friends for the warm welcome and to Susan Feinberg for hosting us at IIT! Our big event will be a panel Saturday afternoon on computers and older adults. Our guest panelists are Don Norman, Ann Wrixon (president of SeniorNet), Don Jones (VP of Gateway), and Sandy Berger (host of AARP's Computers and Technology area). If you're in the area, stop by! Registration is only $15 for the three-day event, and you can collect that much in tchotchkes :).

Come up to Pete Miller's in Evanston Friday night to see Dave Specter play great jazz blues (http://www.davespecter.net)--he's a great friend, a great guitar player, and he's there! I'll be there, too. Maybe we could get some other Chicago-area UPAers and AIFIAers and SIGIAers and CHIWEBers there. Show is early at 8:30. Could be fun--I'll be in Chicago for the weekend, since my wife has a meeting Monday and we can take an accidental vacation. -- Posted by Joe on September 5, 2003 11:31 AM
