Blogger Alley
Jami Schwarzwalder | Conference | Friday, March 24th, 2006
I wanted to make at comment about sessions for bloggers. In Ballroom B there are tables set up in the back near outlets. I discovered this would make a perfect area for a blogger who needs an outlet to keep the computer power during the sessions. My experience blogging has been tricky because I have to scope every room I enter for an outlet, and then have cords in the way of other attendees that walk between the walls and the chairs.
My first session I ended up sitting on the floor near an outlet to finish writing.
I wanted to point this out so that planning committees can prepare for this when setting up rooms.
Thank you

So it sounds as though YALSA should invest in some extension cords for its program rooms…or suggest that bloggers add one more item to their luggage. Those extension cords with 5 outlets on one end would work great.

That’s YALSA for you – thinking ahead! I do have an extension to my Mac power cord, but it only gives me about 6 more feet. Those rooms are immense! And then you run into issues of people tripping and A. getting injured, or B. pulling your laptop to the floor. I love to blog, but no way am I going to have 25 feet of cable (
Ha, 25 feet of rope was always standard gear in outfitting a D&D character… ) and a roll of duct tape to conferences with me – I’ll go back to the less speedier (but back friendlier) method of leaving the computer in the hotel room and retyping my notes first.
