ECAC-SIDA: Whirlwind

Day two at the convention has been quick and action packed. With my
daughter deciding that traipsing the length of the island via car was
the only way she'd fall asleep last night, I was a bit slow out of the
gate. Luckily the morning was a bit pokey, with only a few folks
dropping by to say hello and take some tosses at Jesse in the dunk tank.

The big event of the day was the informal ICS informational meeting/
pig roast. Due to the swine flu outbreak we had to forgo the pork,
but we were able to lay out some of the new features and enhancements
in the works, including SIDEARM Conference, Twitter integration,
enhanced video capabilities and a button that either does laundry and
taxes, depending on your astrological sign.

I think everyone was reasonably happy with the presentation, or at
least that's what BJ from DeSales and Jon from Alvernia shouted over
their shoulders as they jetted out to go golfing, along with half the
conference attendees. The other half headed to the beach and we took
the afternoon off to have some fun in the sun.

Tonight is a picnic on the beach, with some good food, competitive
volleyball, and hopefully a beautiful sunset - plus Kevin from RPI
said he would wrestle a shark if we gave him free live stats for a year.

I'm trying to convince Jeff right now...
