The morning workshop I conducted with Cheryl, Doug, and Kathie went well, although I’d hoped to do more hands-on work in the section I lead on content-out prototyping.

It was a fun group, and there seemed to be a lot of enthusiasm in the room. Not bad, given that the workshop was pretty technical. Of course, there’s a big difference between getting excited about producing digital scholarship, and actually producing it. Which is exactly why I failed by not curtailing my talking and not getting down to actually trying some of the stuff out.

The Kairos redesign unveiling went well. Really well. The audience, mostly Kairos editors and editorial board members, couldn’t have been any more receptive--even though the unveiling had to start without Doug and Kathie, who have a lot more ethos and cachet with the Kairos crowd than I do.

(I hope to post links to the redesign materials soon, but it still needs some work before I’m comfortable releasing it into the wild).

Tonight we have the Bedford/St. Martin’s-sponsored welcome party. It should be a good time seeing more friends, but I already realize how much I have missed not attending this conference since helping to host it at Purdue back in 2003.
