  • Believe it or not…

    So, I’m getting ready to come home after the IUG and the Denver Hyatt is hosting a new conference, and I’m not making this up, the Society of Government Meeting Professionals.  Ugh…I’m sure its different than the picture in my head but… Updated:  I stand corrected — it was actually worse than I thought.  I…

  • Saturday, May 20, 2006: IUG Keynote

    The IUG conference started out this morning with an initial presentation by III CEO, Jerry Kline. For as much as some of III’s pratices frustrate me, I actually like Jerry quite a bit. He’s very approachable and I generally enjoy chatting with him — even when I disagree. Anyway, Jerry’s conference touched on a number…

  • Turning comments off for now

    If someone knows of a good wordpress plugin for automatic spam management — I’d appreciate someone dropping me a note at: terry dot reeset at oregonstate dot edu.  I’m getting close to 70 spam comments a day that I’m having to wade through to moderate and I’m getting tired up it.  So until i get…

  • Sunny in Austin, TX

    I’m hanging out in Austin attending DLF’s Spring forum this weekend.  I’ll post my notes from the meeting at the end of each day — but if you are in Austin and want to say howdy, drop me a message.  –Terry

  • First signs of getting older, I guess

    I remember it wasn’t too long ago that I could work close to 72 hours straight without crashing.  Well, this weekend, I worked close to 34 hours from Friday to Saturday around 5 pm — and then I actually had to take a nap.  A nap.  Who takes naps.  Of course, after my 1 1/2 hour power…

  • Snow in March

    Oregon obviously isn’t known for its snow — especially on the Valley floor.  But I get up today to ride my bike to work and what do I see….SNOW.  Not a lot, but enough and in March.  How odd is that.  Anyway, got go hope on my bike.   –Terry

  • Happy birthday to me

    My wife tried to set of the fire alarms in the house by putting all 29 candles on my cake today.  Hah…not even close.  I’ll need at least 30, I’m sure.  Anyway, 29 years and I’ve still managed to avoid growing up…and thankfully with young kids, I still don’t have to grow up for what,…

  • Truth in Advertising?

    I just love this…not to diss Western Oregon University, but I visited their home page and the title of the page just struck me as being funny.  It says: “Western Oregon University — Steadily emerging as a leading comprehensive public liberal arts college.” Below, the page notes that they are celebrating 150 years as a…
