Truger’s TechTalk

I really am just not good at this blogging thing! I can’t seem to keep going for more than a month at a time. I think part of it is because I am just not a good writer, part is because I can’t believe anyone really wants to read anything I write and lastly most of the blogs that I read are by these deep make their own way thinkers. Often they say what I mean but much more eloquently than I could have.

However all of that being said I am going to try again. I can’t promise I will last but I can promise that I will try. My posts won’t be deeply philosophical, I will leave it to those who do it so much better than I ever could, but I will talk about what I am learning and the challenges and successes in my life…so sit back and enjoy the ride it could get bumpy.

Looking back at what I previously wrote I am actually kind of impressed. I am obviously an emotional writer and when I feel something deeply it comes through in my writing…huh…never realized that.

My life and job responsibilities have change quite a bit since my last post about falling apart as the Spotlight speaker at ICE 2009. I went on to have MAJOR technical difficulties at MACUL, but I handled them like the pro I usually conduct myself as. I must have done a good job because I was asked back every year since! ( much to my shock) I even got another speaking gig at MSET (Maryland Tech ). It has certainly been whirlwind. I was the Co-Chair for the ICE conference the last year with the awesome Beth Burke, and this year I have the honor of serving with the unmatchable Judi Epcke. We have an AMAZING group of volunteers that help the conference run smoothly.

If you will be the Chicago Area at the end of February you should really plan to attend, we throw a good party and there is always room for you!
