My computer has been given the silent treatment by the techmarkets network, which is why there hasn't been too much from me, but you know what? I was also totally overwhelmed.
It's down to the take away which is turning into a slightly evangelical feel-good session. Which is okay I think every "first-time" event deserves its evangels.
And if I weren't writing this I would be listening to Mary Hodder make a call for a group or list of womens with their expertise.
I wanted to make a self-prop. I was interviewed by the SF chronicle, and they made me soundlike a montrealaise littlest hobo of sorts. cool. But I am not just a student. I am mostly a web developer.
There is alot of discussion of being outside ones comfort zone and doing stuff that pushes the boundaries of their normal zone of interest or experience and I find it interesting, because I am not certain that I have ever been inside the bounds of normal.
I am not sure yet about the idea of what normal means in the blogosphere. As someone from the mommy-blogging crew stands up to represent. I am reminded that everyones voice here is unique and pretty different even if it is just a difference of degrees.
I feel like my thread that is, the one question I seem to come back to; is why is a person or a blogs relation to the "normal" the point of reference.
Now there is an idea to smartmob the male-dominated conferences. I think I should end on that. I am feeling scattered an exhausted.

I'm not surprised you're feeling exhausted - there's a lot of that going around. But it's a good kind of exhaustion, don't you think?
Thank you for all your support and the work you did for BlogHer. It was a wonderful experience for us attendees!
thanks for the snark & surreal manic adventure, mir.
More thanks go to you all. It was a great experience to be at the conference but I am extra glad I got to meet such nice live-bloggers...
Oh and I have come to the conclusion that I have been a little pms-ey since approximately 9:00pm sat night, (I think it kicked off when the singers at teh resto launched into cabaret). So I may have been a little high on the snark. Next time we meet I will be a hella more positive individual
cheers,
