If I disappear from the surface of the earth or blog sporadically, it
is because not only do I have a number of academic deadlines
(important!), but I also have:

Taking the Terror out of Talk
Oct 10, 6:00 – 8:00 at Metro Hall
(A Toastmasters educational module on dealing with anxiety
when speaking in public)

CASCON 2006
Oct 16 – 19, a free IT conference at which I am:

• on a panel about Enterprise 2.0
• presenting my research at the technology showcase
• giving a lightning talk
• organizing and running a “Hack Night”

DemoCamp: Livin' la Vida Emacs
Oct 23, Monday (*UPDATE! Not 26 as originally announced)

AND the IBM Center for Advanced Studies is reviewing its proposals
this month or so, too…

So we're looking at one major thing each week, although the truth is,
all of them are droppable if I accept the consequences.

I can do this. =)

Random Emacs symbol: group – Widget: A widget which groups other widgets inside.
