I'm at the Building Learning Communities conference in Boston. It's intoxicating to talk with so many people I've long respected and admired. I was here last year too. The conference has doubled in size from 300 to over 600 people. The sessions offered are an amazing array of talent and thoughtful thinkers but the best part is the face to face conversations we're having afterwards.

Actually, that's not the whole story. Twitter and using skype to chatcast in sessions has added another dimension to the entire experience.

Ewan McIntosh gave a breathtaking talk this afternoon. Bob podcasted it and David chatcasted it. Dean tweeted that Ewan is his new yoda and look at this ... he's already on flickr!
