I gave my talk yesterday at Bio-IT World and it went okay. I had half an hour, which is just a dumb length of time to speak. I can do 5 or 15 minutes pretty easily, but then there’s this window out to about an hour where it’s hard to get rolling on anything in detail, and yet make it stop in time. After an hour … I’ll happily go all day. God, I love the sound of my own voice.
Anyway, I went short – 20 minutes rather than 30. The guy after me more than made up for it … and the rest of the speakers sort of compensated back. I thought I was well received … people kept coming up to me on the show floor and wanting to corner me on one point or another … so I guess that’s good.
Back into town today for another session. Basically, today is the day that we meet with business partners and such. Yesterday was fun because I was surrounded by smart, interested people all day. Today will be less fun, I think, because it’ll be more about schmoozing.
Actually *going* to work is such a pain. Dressing, driving, talking to people. I have no idea how people get any real work done, if they have to do this every day.
