Return to the world of work

Today is Day 2 of Doctrain, a technical documentation conference. Here are a few quick notes:
- The presenters have generally been excellent, providing good insights on business, technology, and process.
- The facility - Burlington Marriott - is sub-par. They didn't provide electrical outlets for the sessions that required laptops. There was a charging station where you could plug in and leave your laptop; the station was next to the front door.
- I haven't been with this many white people since the last time I went to a hockey game. There's lots of talk about international audiences, but this seems to be the last fortress of white, middle-aged workers.
- It's been good to see some friends from a long time ago.
- It's been good to revisit businesses and technologies that I find very interesting.
- It's almost like going back to work.
