I am an event where people learn how to take their blog to the mainstream. I'm not interested in really going mainstream, but I do want to blog about something that means something to me. I currently blog about educational technology, and I realized there are times that blog goes off on a tangent and doesn't always stay focused. But I travel a lot for professional reasons, and when I travel I read. No, not those professional books such as The World is Flat, but those fiction books that totally draw you in and if you're not careful you might miss your flight.
Yeah, I read. I don't tune out the World by plugging into my iPod. Half the time my iPod is dead. As a matter of fact, I'd be 1/2 embarrassed to tell someone about them my playlists. I tried to listen to podcasts or listen to books on tape, but unfortunately I tend to tune them out in the end and my mind wanders. My eyes must be engaged in the process. Engaging my ears and mind is not enough. I'm visual. I need to see what I'm doing!
Plus, you can't listen to a podcast during take-off and landing. But I can read a book.
The travel is because every once in awhile I'll come across a great hotel that's reasonably priced, experience a great flight, or have a horrible dinner at some place that serves hair with their food. I'd like to share those ups and downs with you. Okay, so I want to share them as a way to journal my trips, but still.
Right now I'm in IzeaFest in Orlando, FL. I'm staying in the Fairfield Marriott near Universal Studios. I'll share my experiences later tonight after the events.
Dang. Two numbers away from winning the camera that I really need. Mine was damaged in a fall on the beach. Cameras and sand do not mix.
