After visiting town earlier today to attend the 8th annual South Sound Technology Conference, "The Blogging Boom: How News, Private Enterprise, Parenting and Civic Action have Changed Online Journaling" co-sponsored by US Congressmen Adam Smith and Norm Dicks in Carwein Auditorium at UW Tacoma, featuring among others: The News Tribune's own executive editor David Zeeck and assistant managing editor for Interactive News Mark Briggs, there was a bit of sun on hand.
Now, I'm hoping to blog about the conference, but there was so much information that it is taking a bit longer to digest. So I'm going to offer this little diversion. All it takes is a brief interval of gloriously welcomed warmth to give this local blogger both the energy and most importantly incentive to take one last (native optimism!) short stroll along my all-time favorite face of the City of Destiny which is the walk between campus and the Broadway Theatre district before the real cold of winter sets in.
I hope you'll enjoy this jaunt as much as I did.
