Kalamazoo Aftermath
Well, I met a lot of damn medievalists, and got to see a particular damned medievalist for the first time in a decade! The blogging-medievalists-on-blogging panel went well - I'll dig up the list and link everyone in a minute when I'm less tired!
Here we go - Weblogs and the Academy: Internet Presence and Professional Discourse among Medievalists (A Roundtable)
Elisabeth Carnell, Western Michigan University, Elisabeth Carnell
Michael Drout, Wheaton College, Wormtalk and Slugspeak
Scott Nokes, Troy University, Unlocked Wordhoard
Lisa Spangenberg, UCLA, Digital Medievalist
Alison Tara Walker, UCLA, Moderator of the Live Journal Medieval Studies community
and yours truly, the Cranky Professor
Our interrogator was Shana Worthen, University of Toronto, who maintains a list of medievalists with weblogs
Most of the folks in the room already blog - a few wouldn't tell us who they were, a few would, and I got to meet Prof. Anne Brannen of Creating Text(iles)! Such fun!

But did you have the opportunity to try out any of Geoffrey Chaucer's pick-up lines?

It was so nice to see you, too, Cranky One! I guarantee it will not be another ten years!

That was indeed a lot of fun.
And I got some new nifty links! Cool!

I was lovely meeting the people whose names populate my RSS reader and mailbox. The Roundtable went well, I think. I posted a summary of sorts on my blog. It was the first time I've been to a conference in the last few years and not been "live blogging." I've not blogged any of the sessions, which I would do at other sorts of conferences.
Cranky Professor said Very Smart things about teaching with technology--I hope he writes about them somewhere soon; they were unusually good.
