• @dougsymington I can relate. I have felt somewhat unnaturally withdrawn while at a conference and then in upstate NY. #
• @jazzychad I wish I waited where you eat! #
• Going into a meeting that will last until 3:00. Nothing like all day commitments. #
• Trying to make use of LinkedIn since @TonyKarrer convinced me of its value. #
• Saw some of my current work colleagues are also on LinkedIn. Is it a good practice to link to them there? #
• @maniactive They are probably hoping you will also pick up batteries, some plants, a few things for the grill, etc. #
• @gminks That is a great site! I think http://www.twiddict.com will be a new regular website for me! #
• @tonykarrer Yes; I think that is the promise of open social. Now it is just one walled garden after another. #
• Planning to use a wiki with my class to brainstorm and develop the final exam. #
• Have never used a wiki before for this purpose in my class, so see this as a colloborative learning opportunity. #
• Still in the all-day meeting. My typing is getting faster. #
• @NicoleRyan Will let you know. Never tried one for this, and want to increase democratic education, learner involvement, and ownership. #
• @gminks Do you have any instructions or tips you can share? #
• @maniactive Can you share some ways you have successfully used it? #
• @mathplourde Thank you for the wiki in education lead. Your report gives me some reading tonight. #
• At Starbucks. First time outside all day and first coffee since this morning. Sleepy. #
• @maniactive Ouch! I mean LinkedIn! #
• @gusgreeper I had the regular–triple grande skim latte. I take the calling it “skinny” or “no-fat” too personally . . . #
• @mathplourde Will do. #
• @gminks Were there enough instructions or guidance? #

• @christiepooh I liked your #ASTD2008 final thoughts. Tried to respond but it wanted me to use a Google account. Can you open comments? #
• @pinoyboy Nice to know some like life organically. #
• Indian food for lunch. So much work in the office after being away for a week, that I need something spicy away from email and tasks. #
• @injenuity I thought that always was the policy? #
• @injenuity Creativity or multiple personalities or something even more interesting?! #
• At the bank. Nice ac here. Maybe I will linger in line. #
• @christiepooh Great. Just added my comment to the growing list! #
• @tonykarrer Appreciate your thoughtful comments to my ASTD liveblogging. #
• 96 degrees outside in NYC. Hard to believe still this temperature at 5:00. #
• Just had a power surge and the lights flickered. Not a good sign. #
• Still unpacking after #astd2008. #
• Considering some options for my Leadership class’s final exam next week. #
• @tonykarrer At least I would have met you in person first! #
• @dmcordell Why not? Why should mobile blogging be any different? Arrggg! #

As was sitting on the plane thinking about the trip back home to the East Coast from ASTD 2008, and I distinctly recall the last time I went through this airport. It was shortly after 9/11, and the security lines were long. Very long.

I recall a security person barking out at the crowd, “No laughing!” I thought this was a bit drastic, but having lived in NYC on that horrible day in 01, and feeling the security had been somewhat problematic previously, I did not really mind it (except for the lines). It was also on the way home from ASTD. I was in a different job with different expectations. Different time. Different skills. Different experiences. Different colleagues, interests, technology, education, and plans for the future.

While we did not get barked at in line this time, I still feel the security here is strong, and am glad that whatever training the TSA staff have had in the intervening years, they have continued to stress what is important, while leaving the rest behind. Good lesson for all in workplace learning and performance.
