I'm at the TTI Vanguard conference in DC. About 120 people are here to discuss this year's topic: Knowledge Management. The advisory board is scarily smart and deep. The organizers are nervous about people blogging from the conference because they want people to "speak fearlessly." There's a No Press rule, but they are ok with blogging so long as it doesn't violate people's privacy, a nicely fuzzy rule that I'm happy to hew to. I'm presenting tomorrow, on "The Unspoken," which unfortunately sounds like a Clint Eastwood movie. At the speakers' meeting this morning they stressed how interruptive the sessions are: you are granted a ten-minute opening but after that, anyone can ask a question. Everyone has a microphone at her seat (along with an ethernet cable and a power outlet). This orientation meeting didn't exactly put me at ease, but that wasn't its point. I came here with loose ideas about what to talk about, figuring that I'd end up rewriting after today anyway. Now it's my bowels that are loose. Ulp. Posted

Weinberger = You are so dead man! I told all my old Vanguard pals (since I used to work there) to totally kick your ass ... now sometimes the emails get mixed up and they may have thought I wrote "KISS" instead of "kick" but I guess you'll just have to wait and see, right? Halley
P.S. "Unspoken" ... that should be good. Do they disconnect all the mikes for you ... is that the game?

Oh, yeah, David = One other thing. Do NOT under any circumstances ask to borrow John Perry Barlow's hairdryer. Just don't! -- H
