As a follow-up to my post on small numbers of people doing tagging, as of today, for our NMC Regional Conference held last week in San Antonio, we have tagged in flickr 393 photos from 11 individuals, more than we had at our summer conference in Cleveland where the attendence was 3 times as large […]
My wife and I have been taking a class together… nothing formal, but our city of Scottsdale offers a City Government 101 class, which meets every other week where you get to learn about a different department.

Later in the afternoon for the first day of the NMC 2006 Regional Conference, Tom Hapgood and I presented on our preliminary work on the “new” web face of the NMC. And yes, for a rare treat, I did use PowerPoint, though it was all creative commons flickr photos and links. As is, you can […]
Here is a beginning of backblogs form the NMC Regional Conference last week. Of course, you may say I may be raving since I work for NMC, but this was a fab conference, with a small enough number of people there that you could converse with all of them over the 2 days of sessions. […]
I’m ensconced in the Phoenix Airport (again, love the free wifi, thanks y’all!) waiting for the Southwest cattle call for the flight to San Antonio, where later this week is the NMC Regional Conference.
