Ultimate, penultimate, ultra-ultimate… we found the holy grail at Blue Water Seafood in San Diego. Brian and I celebrated the fruits of our presentation labor here with fabulously fresh swordfish and [...]

Ouch, trying to cover a full day’s EDUCAUSE ELI activity in one blog and I made a glaring omission.
