4/11/16

Vancouver trip! It's been a whirlwind, so I’m piling it all into one entry. 

I’ve been on the Stanley Park trail for 4 days now! Feeling good too. I’ve been able to eat great food, drink beer and exercise. What else do you need in life? Hopefully today we can get out and do some shopping and have lunch. 

As somewhat suspected, I’ve been disappointed by this conference (not the trip of course). It seems like the ideas aren’t new, the disconnect is large and the idea that education is trying to grasp the chaos is good in a way, but perhaps wrong in a way too. Perhaps the book can focus on the other side of the game. Great heading!

One thing I learned: Facebook is experiencing a decline because people aren’t using it as an immediate sharing tool anymore. They are switching to more intimate platforms like Instagram, mirroring an online private social setting. It’s possible that even Instagram will switch away to something else. 

One piece of motivation: Be humble. Be brave. Get after it. This has been my motto for the trip and getting up to run. 

Three ideas: After attending this conference, I certainly see some opportunity for my book and especially potentially speaking at a conference. Just need to finish and edit it.
