Yes posting has been light of late - at least here. The business is going gangbusters, and I spent a week in Orlando in August at the annual conference of the International Legal Technology Association. Fascinating time to be around people who put technology to work for the most pure knowledge workers in the world. I liveblogged some sessions, and others I am posting summaries of my thoughts at www.element55.com/ilta2007.

In addition to some great content, I have to give props to Doug Leins of Boult Cummings, who gave a presentation that reminded me more of Barcamp than of the Ritz Carlton - all in a good way. His talk, on RWAD with RoR, was a 10-minute demonstration in which he built the application. (He later confided that he took the introductory video from rubyonrails.org as his inspiration, to which I say kudos for modeling on the best!).

Lesson for a great presentation: Show, don’t tell. Which itself is a pithy subject for a post another day.
