I hope there will be some live blogging someplace on this Symposium. Or the fairly prompt posting of papers on the Internet as was the case with the tribute to Prof. Horwitz last year.
ReplyDeleteProbably neither, Shag, although the Metro section of today's Washington Post carries an article on the first day's events.
ReplyDeleteI had wanted to do some live blogging, but the conference center did not have wireless access. I am planning on typing up some of my notes, if anyone is interested, and depending on the situation I may be willing to share my paper.
