Some notes to self, mostly

August 24th, 2006 Stewart Posted in Uncategorized |

Just returned from SUNY Orange in Middletown NY where I gave my Millennials talk this morning. I had a great time and the talk seemed to go well enough, even if it felt a little bit truncated at the end due to time considerations. Well, I should say time was a consideration, right alongside the consideration of me standing between 100 hungry attendees and their BBQ lunch. Never start talking at 11:30 AM, especially if you haven’t had much breakfast.

I’ll be posting some notes in the next few days to follow up on some questions I was asked. One in particular, “Do Millennials read?” intrigues me quite a bit and I’ll have to do a little searching to see what I come up with. In the meantime, I want to extend thanks to Catherine, Donna, and Susan for all of the courtesy they showed me during my stay. A special nod to the librarians there who are enjoying some new renovations to their facility. We had a fun chat this afternoon about Library 2.0, etc. though I’m afraid I might have gotten a little long-winded. (”No, Stewart, not you!!!”)

The folks at SUNY Orange are very kind and welcoming, and they seem to have a really nice mix of people doing some great work there. Six hours driving is taking it’s toll, though, so I’ll call it a night for now.
