I'll probably be blogging here and there from Netroots Nation in Minneapolis, but you're likely to see much more action on my twitter account: @JoshRosenau

If you aren't following me on twitter, you really should. Like a lot of bloggers, I've taken to using twitter as a repository for minor commentary and individual links that aren't quite deserving of their own blog post, but that still amuse me.
Against my better judgment, I've read some posts by anti-accommodationists. If I decide I enjoy banging my head against a wall, I may even respond to some of them. Otherwise, I'll have to distract myself.
As you read this, I'm on a plane winging my way to the ScienceOnline 2011 conference. It's a great learning, sharing and networking opportunity for anyone interested in the way science happens online. It's highlight of the conference year for me.
I would have loved to see your panel (and the NYT docu later that night), but $140 is just too much for a one day pass. I realized you're not in charge of NN, but thought I'd throw this here to vent. If the NN want to help establish the roots (the local community), and not just cultivate the vine (those that can take the time and afford or get reimbursed for travel, hotel and conference passes), then a lower day pass amount would be a great move. At the maximum, charge just over the per day rate for a conference pass ($355 / 4 = $88.75), say $90. It would still be a tough sell to the spouse, but it would benefit from the irrational fact of not being $100.
