We're on the Move

Sign last night for a group that (used to) sit next to us.

That was a sign last night for a pizza-enticement to get people in the group next door to pack up their cubes for the movers. There are a lot of office moves going on right now (there are small armies of movers here right now), as entire groups are getting picked up and moved to new cubicles, and even different buildings on campus.

Most of it is due to previous organizational changes, so teams that work together can sit together. This is still super-important, even in the age of instant online communication.

Our own move fun won't happen until next week -- we'll be moving to building CC2 (from CC1, where we've been for a while).

In a different kind of move note, I'll be spending the first half of next week in Boulder, Colorado, for the International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media and Pie. (Okay, I made up the Pie part.)

It sounds like it's going to be a lot wonkier than some of the other conferences I've previously attended, since they're will be a bunch of people presenting papers about different aspects of blogs and social media (they have about 70 papers and posters posted online in PDF format.)

Oh, and social media analysis it-girl dana boyd is scheduled to take a keynote spot, which should be... interesting.

You can see the full program lineup.

My friends in Colorado say that March is the month that gets the heaviest snowfall, but the forecast for next week seems pretty safe.

Now, why go to another conference when I haven't yet put up my notes from the last one? That's a particularly good question. As this point (6 whole weeks after the event), it's pretty much a historical snapshot, but I will try to get them up.

Thanks -- Joe
