I've been at Pop!Tech for less than 48 hours and have to sign off soon. Ah, the memories. Meeting other bloggers, seeing sweet new gadgets, robo-toys and machines (REPLICATORS!), and having my brain nearly explode.

Also, having beers with out-of-staters while cheering on the Red Sox was an interesting experience.

But before I sign off, here's a few last things.

Welcome back to Day 2 at Pop!Tech. There won't be nearly as many updates today as I am working on a story for tomorrow's paper.

First up this morning was a discussion on "The Pursuit of Happiness," something we know I would all define as "chasing bacon."

Wrapping up today's around-the-clock blow-out-the-budget LIVE! coverage of Pop!Tech was a session called "The Creative Instinct."

Ah yes, something former English majors everywhere are searching for (and sometimes journalism majors).

I mentioned it before, but Pop!Tech has corralled a great many thinkers, inventors and scientists. (Seriously, this morning I think I heard someone introduce them self from GlaxoSmithKline.)

All around me I can hear the clack of keyboard keys, thoughts moving only as fast as your laptop will let them.

Sorry, all this talk about changing the world is making me alliterative.

Wow.

When I said before my geek was overwhelmed, I was not kidding. We just wrapped up the first session and my brain is trying to do a ho-jillion things all at once. On top of that, I had a Cafe Mocha this morning - which is only remarkable because I have largely given up coffee and mostly drink tea - so I've got a little buzz.

And we’re coming to you live from…the Camden Opera House?

Wha?

Would you believe they let me take this thing on the road? Goodbye Press Herald Plaza newsroom, hello beautiful scenic midcoast Maine.
