We have all been there, it took me at least 3 tries before I ever made it to Lotusphere. There are some excellent resources out there particularly Warren
One of the biggest challenges for me the last couple of years is lugging my laptop around. Â My everyday machine is a Lenovo T400, which serves me well, but with a 9 Cell battery weighs in at 5lb 10oz, and takes up a fair amount of space in the back pack.
I mainly use my laptop at Lotusphere for blogging, and since I am using the Notes based BlogSphere template for this blog, my blogging client is Lotus notes. This year I will be leaving the T400 home and instead bringing the new Lenovo S10 Netbook that arrived a couple of days ago.
Weighing in at 2 lbs 4 oz, and small it will be a lot lighter and take up much less space in my backpack. I have been playing with it for a couple of days now, and it would appear to be more then adequate for my on the go computing needs, with 2 GB of RAM Notes 8.5.1 is running fine, and if squeezed for memory I can always revert to the standard configuration.
The biggest adjustment for me so far is getting used to the Trackpad, I have never been a fan of the Trackpad, but short of attaching an external mouse that is the only option on the S10, so I am slowly asjusting to being a Trackpad user. Â One of the things about the Trackpad is that it is like a Bluetooth headset. Â The headsets come with one or two buttons which if you can remember all the varieties of push sequences actually do quite a bit, but I can never remember the sequences so I don’t use them.
Here is a video I found showing a number of the possibilities with the Touchpad, but am I really going to remember them all, I don’t think so.

I don’t think this would ever become my primary machine, but it will be a real nice option for traveling, and especially for making Lotusphere a little easier for me to get around this year.
Last year following the very memorable closing session of Lotusphere 2009 about 75 people headed over to the Fantasia

So back to the title of the post A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, many of us going to Lotusphere while we might only see each other once or twice a year, we are connected through out the year via Twitter, Facebook, Skype, Bleedyellow, and more. As I have been talking to people over the last few weeks, or simply browsing through the twitter stream one thing I noticed is that many people tend to express their personalities with an avatar or cartoon as opposed to a picture of themselves. While my Twitter picture has been pretty consistent for example here are a few images that have been my Facebook profile pictures
While they all reflected me quite well, they won’t help you recognize me if you see me in person. I am going to change this back to a current photo of me at least until after Lotusphere. If you aren’t using a current picture please consider adding one at least for the next few weeks, if we haven’t met before, or haven’t seen each other in a year it will really help us find each other and connect during Lotusphere.
I am excited to be speaking at Lotusphere
