Thanks to the fact that I snuck out before Kara could get anywhere near the aiport, I made it home just fine (in fact a few minutes early!).

What a great conference, I can believe (actually maybe I can given the people who were there) what great conversations, ideas, and solutions we came up with.

Unfortunately I won’t be going to next week’s conference in Salem, Oregon which I am sure will be just as good (though no-one will be quite as dashing on Guitar Hero). Instead I am going to be in New York and Kentucky - see you there!

Another great day…

Lots or really, really cool sessions and discussions on every topic under the sun. I am so impressed by the people here and how much they know about Therap and how keen they are to know more.

One of the highlights was our Extreme Jeopardy Session that we did. Allison and I came up with a nasty bunch of questions and pitted six teams against each other. The key players ended up being Pete from Indiana, Renee from New York, Shelli from South Dakota, Bryan from Iowa and Bonnie from South Dakota. The full game was won by Pete (no matter how hard I tried to cheat) with Renee and Cody in a very close second. Though after the final question teams 2 and 3 won by a short neck.

Thanks to Cheryl for the lovely photos (as usual click on any picture to see many more.)

We used a program called Stu’s Double Jeopardy to play the game which is great and free! (click on the link to download). I’d be delighted to send you our questions, and if you make up your own, please share!

What a great day!

A tremendous group of people here, long time customers, new folks, folks thinking about joining us and some industry experts like Sue Swenson.

We ended today by introducing folks to the wonders of video games. A number of reasons for this. Firstly there are some great cultural reference points (do you know how to play Guitar Hero?), secondly we are embracing video game ideas in our training materials and wanted folsk to get a sense of where we were coming from, thirdly they are just plain fun!

We played:

Guitar Hero on a Play Station 3

Mario Kart on a Nintendo Wii

Spiderman on an X-Box 360

Wii Sports on a Nintendo Wii

Scene It Movie Quiz on an X-Box 360

What an enormous amount of fun we had. Enjoy the photos!

This is a really interesting piece on the whole topic of browsers, Internet Explorer, standards and other such things.

It’s long, but well worth the read

Thanks to Kara being on the ground, I made it to Sioux Falls without incident, in fact I even had the time to stop off for a meeting in St. Paul, MN. Interestingly enough, with a chap from Musselburgh.

Being fashionably late as I was, all the work setting up the conference had already been done. The rooms look wonderfully orange and Warren already has his wand out!

Tomorrow the fun really begins

Are you sure you don’t know these XKCD people?

Just received this in an email. Can you guess who it was from?

Just FYI, I am currently delayed about
6 hours, stuck on the plane due to weather in Chicago, where all flights were
stopped there until just a while ago.

There was good news and bad news in Therapville today.

We added a new feature to Provider Preferences, allowing you to turn off the ability to create this kind of T-Log at your agency.

The bad news was that we set all the switches to “No” and turned them off for everyone. This was fixed shortly after we worked out what we had done, but I want to apologize to anyone who was confused or inconvenienced.

Tonight Iona is accompanying her beau Tom to his senior prom. After weeks of dress, hair, shoe, makeup, nails, jewelry and flower shopping she finally made it out of the house, and looked absolutely gorgeous!
