For anyone who hasn’t been following me on Twitter (and I’m sure that’s about 99.9% of all human beings), I made the journey up to Nebraska this weekend for the BigOmaha conference. I was hit by a massive thunderstorm, Google Maps had me circle through Kansas City once just for the hell of it, and I discovered that Iowa doesn’t have any major roads that aren’t A) under construction or B) covered in roadkill.
I went in with zero expectations, hoping the chunk of spare change I spent would be worth it. I’ve been looking for something, I have no idea what it is. I wasn’t expecting this conference to hit me with a flash of insight as to what to do with me life, but I thought it’s as good a place as any to start.
Over the next week or two (depending on how much I write), I’m going to be posting some summation articles of the speakers and topics at the conference and my observations during my time here. As I site here writing this in the hotel a few blocks from where the event took place, I’ve got a huge mix of feelings about a number of topics. Check back in the next few days for my take on what happened here, and some of the ideas I’ve taken with me.
