Meet the Bloggers details
It’s official, we are having an informal gathering of health IT bloggers and readers on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 8:30 p.m. at Hennessey’s Gaslamp, 708 4th Ave., San Diego. That’s walking distance from the convention center and most of the HIMSS hotels. Click here for a map.
RSVP here, then check here to see who else is coming.
Admission is free, just pay for your own food and drink. You think any of us actually make any money with these blogs?
Also, I am now a published author, not merely a media jackal. I wrote the January-February issue of Doctor’s Digest, entitled, “Technology in Practice.” (See if you can guess what the topic is.)
While technically a periodical, it’s bound like a paperback book, my name is on the title page and the editor referred to my draft as a “manuscript.” Plus, I wrote the whole thing, somewhere in the neighborhood of 34,000 words. Sounds like a book to me.
Free online subscriptions right now cover only the six 2005 editions. If you weren’t one of the 110,000 or so physicians and practice managers who got a copy in the mail, contact circulation@doctorsdigest.net. I’ll see what I can do about bringing some extras with me to HIMSS next month—as if I won’t have enough to carry without them.
Neil: Will see you in San Diego. In the meantime, I thought you’d be interested in a recent post on HealthNex regarding the Blogposium idea that a slew of healthcare IT bloggers have been discussing.Jack Mason
Who’s bringing the webcam so those of us not attending can enjoy the action?Ok, so that probably wouldn’t be so fun. Enjoy yourself and I look forward to hearing a blog of the meeting.Johnhttp://www.crashutah.com/emr
I think the web cam idea is a great one. I definitely plan to post pictures to my blog using my mobile phone.
Have a great time in San Diego. I would love to be there, but I had a conflict regarding HIMSS decision to schedule its conference during Valentine’s Day week. The question I had to resolve was, “Go to San Diego and meet with a bunch of cool co-bloggers? Or stay married?” It was a close call. Have fun.
Anyone interested in doing a second meetup later in the week? I won’t get there until Tuesday morning but will be there until Thursday PM.
