It's Day 2 of 10NTC in PollenLanta - can't call it HOT

Arrived in Atlanta for the 10th NTEN sponsored Nonprofit Technology Conference 2010 yesterday where the Delta airline pilot indicated the haze we saw in the sky was all Pollen, yes, green pollen, it was nasty but soon forgotten as we made our way to the conference session at CNN Omni.
 
Nice diggs, although the $6 bottle of water seemed pricy and who puts a scale in the bathroom anymore?  Really, you want me to weigh myself?  I think not, save your scale money, lower the water costs.
 
Moving on the first order of biz was to pop over to the NWF Atlanta office - riding the MARTA we had an awesome afternoon meeting with the staff and checking out their work space.  10th floor view of a very nice section of the town, minus the pollen fog of course.  Sharing how the tech program at NWF was playing out first hand went over very well.  There is something for making that personal touch, the face to face that I think goes a long way.  Even did a little troubleshooting and expedited some help desk issues.  So yes, NWF Atlanta visit - huge success.
 
Now it's early morning Day 2 - I'm off to crash a Podcasting workshop my good friend Chad Norman from Blackbaud is hosting.   The morning workshops were special ordered for members which I somehow missed but Chad was most accommodating as always.  Hope to soak it all in and learn, share and learn - it's what makes #10NTC such a success.
 
More to come . . .
