So I'm supposed to be going to this seminar in the morning on blogging and podcasting being hosted by Apple at the Prudential Center offices. I'm always a bit skeptical of these kind of tech events because of the eventual product spin that I feel will always get tacked on to whatever presentation or discussion occurs.

And I'ma say it loud like James Brown
People be proud cuz we all up in the game now

But since I have yet to go to sleep, I'm a bit hesitant to doze off becuase I know how I can be come bright time...daylight. As part of the TechBoston team, I feel good about my gradual comfort in asserting myself more as a vocal proponent of advanced technology and student-focused approaches to the efficient and effective usage of those technologies. Being that I do all this blogging myself, I'm interested in hearing about new developments and shT like that.

Don't you be scared of me Mister
Cuz you don't really seem to be scared of my sister

Plus, it's supposed to be an eduation-themed event, so there should be a good bit of other educators and folks with some IT know-how there to really dig into Apple if they start to BS us with marketing doublespeak. A lot of new developments and changes on the horizon, so maybe I should go aheda nd try to bang a few hours in. We'll see. Until then, take a look at what the description for the events says it will cover:
