Written by Dick CarlsonElliott Masie is talking — suggests that the dropping of community support for education is an issue that should be handled by Homeland Security.
We’re video conferenced in to the Manhattan School Of Music, and listening to a viola student. I’m not actually sure why, but the connection is great — and he claims it’s live internet. (Update: Apparently the student gets lessons via video conferencing — I came in late.)
I’m sitting at a table way, way in the back — the bad kid’s area, where several of us have our laptops open. Earlier in the day Elliott came by and told my neighbor (a technical trainer for Disney) to watch the speaker, not her ‘puter. She indicated that she was listening, but looking at her display. Sixty words a minute from a talking head is just too slow for our needs.
We’re in a room with 2100 people, and apparently the video is to demonstrate the use of high-def video. It’s very pretty, but I’m not sure what the immediate application is here for someone training at an insurance company.
Later on we’re hearing from Wayne Hodgins, Scott Martin, and the Director of Florida’s Pandemic Team. I hope there’s not a viral video going around.
