I've always felt that the academic conference I've attended have a kind of "closed door" feel to them. I'm not even sure what the etiquette is for blogging an academic conference. Is it OK for me to take notes on someone's paper and publish them, along with my thoughts? This stands in STARK contrast to tech/web developments conferences and workshops. Stuff on them is out EVERYWHERE. And it's fantastic stuff. I don’t expect wireless internet access at the AHA this year, or in the next few years.

Not only have I never seen a decent backchannel going at any of the academic conferences I regularly attend, you can't even count on wireless access (as noted above). Seems like there's a deep failure in professional associations in understanding the potential of augmenting the conference space with an on-site virtual layer...not sure how to start fixing that...

But I like the idea of you blogging from the conference, since I will not be attending. Definitely don’t count on wireless access.

Even if you like one paper, you will hate others. Or you should. If you like all the papers on the panel, what is wrong with you? Snark: The only way to blog a panel.

I don't expect internet access this weekend, and the AHA usually hasn't had wireless available (though they have a room set aside for internet access.) I tend to hand-code my blog posts in TextMate before I put them in WordPress. Very inefficient. I've been meaning to try <a href="http://ranchero.com/marsedit/" rel="nofollow">MarsEdit</a> and the blogging option in <a href="http://www.flock.com" rel="nofollow">Flock</a>, so this might be as good an opportunity to do so as any.
