This week wraps Elements, the conference formerly known as PSUWEB. It’s hard to believe it’s been around for 19 years, and the growth and expansion in those years has been transformational. Having served for many years on the program committee, it makes me proud to see the consistent quality of content presented, and that it’s […]

Confessional.

Hi. My name is Robin2go and it’s been five months since my last confession. I mean blogpost. It’s not that things stopped happening to me last fall. If anything, my life was on the hectic side — almost careening out of control, much like the scene where Indiana Jones is running away from the boulder […]

I’m sitting here at Pioneer Square in Portland waiting at the pre-party for the official kickoff to at the World Domination Summit 2014. This is such a full two days plus (I say “plus” because it seems to unofficially start days in advance and continue days after just because people don’t want the experience to […]

Pittsburgh in April. Perfect together.

You’ve been hearing me talk a lot about the awesomeness that is this year’s Web 2014 Conference, but I’d like to turn your attention to another chance to get your highered web geek on before June. It’s the Pittsburgh HighEdWeb regional conference – the first time there’s been a regional held  here. What what whaaaaaat, […]

Beyond ordinary.

This weekend I am waaaay outside of my comfort zone, attending a conference that I’m still trying to grok, among people who describe themselves as entrepreneurs and out-of-the-box thinkers. The innovators. The makers. The go-getters. The rules breakers. I might be a bit intimidated. This is the World Domination Summit. I’m still working through what […]

The cat’s meow.

This past week I was in Vancouver for PSEWEB, Canada’s conference for web and marketing higher education professionals. This tight knit community at is full of amazingly talented people and I love having the opportunity to share their world. This is the second time I’ve presented at this conference, and the welcome I get as […]

A dark ‘n stormy night.

Meet Jonathan Roth. Jonathan is the bartender at Cork & Fin in the Gastown district of Vancouver. Pay no attention to that lovely smile and come hither look. Jonathan is knowingly leading me astray. He makes an amazing cocktail called a Dark ‘n Stormy. I may or may not be in lust with this man drink. […]

Yesterday I got up at 4am to make sure I was out the door in time for my flight (not that I was anxious or anything). I’m gone for three weeks to do some speaking, some learning, and some hanging with people I like on the west coast. By the time I got across the […]

Last week I had the opportunity to speak at HighEdWeb New England. This regional offshoot of HighEdWeb was yet again an amazingly delightful collection of talent and people and has grown significantly in the last several years. Lots of new faces — different people than I typically see in the higher ed conferences — and […]

Sleepless in SXSW.

March 15, 2013 by robin2go Leave a Comment

I’ve just come back from the festival mecca of all festivals — Austin, Texas, my college days haunt and home to South by Southwest (SXSW for short or, for those hipsters who’ve been, just “SouthBy,” just because). In the 27 years that SXSW has existed, it’s beginnings as a music festival has rapidly grown to […]

Well, now you’ve gone and done it. Here we were, minding our own business, creating a really fabulous conference, and you just couldn’t leave it alone. You had to get excited. You had to go and tell others. Then they got excited and told their friends and, here we are six weeks before the conference with not […]

One of my profs noticed I turned in my homework at 4:30 am (I take the night shifts to take care of my brother) and he sent me this.

Some profs have hearts y'all!
