As I mentioned yesterday, I’m at BlogHer 06, and I’ll be glad to ask your questions, if you put them in the comments. I tried to post this last night, but the site was apparently down for a bit. Seems ok now.

Here are the sessions for Day Two that I plan on attending today (except for early morning yoga)– what would you like to know about them? Ask questions in the comments, if you’re curious.

• Get Deeply Geeky.
  BlogHers want to talk technology and gender. Is the web itself a feminine construct? How about open source? Join Laura Scott, mir verburg, Nancy White & futurist Melanie Swan to discuss.

  To tell you the truth, I don’t care about the gender part — I just want to talk tech!

• Business Blog Case Studies
  Yvonne DiVita, Susan Getgood & Toby Bloomberg lead a rap session with you, the BlogHers, about what worked (and what didn’t) when implementing blogs for business.

  I’m very much looking forward to this one.

• Group Blogging
  Mandy Moore from the KnittingBloggers community, Iris Rodriguez & Veronica Hernandez from Smashcast and Sarah Gilbert & Asha Dornfest from Portland Urban Mamas are among those who have dealt with the practical & inspirational realities of building online blog communities.

I love that this conference is so wired — people have laptops open at every table, wi-fi connections (sometimes flaky when lots of people are logged on), plenty of plugs for laptops. It’s great.

But, just like at work, it’s tempting to check email while people are talking, instead of listening and taking notes!
