chicago - swings & roundabouts

So yesterday morning I rocked up to a gig on Enterprise Performance Support Systems put on by Dirk Tussing from Executive Learning Exchange & some dudes from Tata Interactive. An EPSS is an embedded tool that supports inexperienced workers focues processes and systems (e.g. call centre staff or claims agents). There were muffins and some nice conversation.

Then I spent the afternoon with Tim "Podcast" Keelan. Tim has a knack for constructing cool P2P learning content and a penchant for ranting - which are both good things.

I bought a ticket for this show and actually made it to the performance this time.

However, I did miss my flight this morning (boo) but by chance got to see Cory Doctorow* doing his thing at Chicago Public Library. Which kinda rocked with fists of steel.

*Kim - This guy hates CCTV and believes we must take back our own privacy - you'd love him.

chicago - km & exhaustion

Yesterday I went to the KM Chicago gig with Stefan Lafloer & Dave Simmons & the Kroll dudes. I recorded these sessions and will be making the results available when I get back to Sydney. I finally got to meet Alice Dunlap-Kraft (who I knew from my IBM days).

Then it was full steam ahead to the Art Institute of Chicago, Millenium Park and Lake Michigan. Which is a lake so huge you could mistake it for the ocean. I even bought a ticket to the Annoyance Theatre improv gig - but passed out instead.

I am not a mornings person but jetlag tends to get me up early and then knock me out early.
