Sadly, I won't be able to attend Lotusphere 2010...

I was really looking forward to Lotusphere this year. I was looking forward to the week-long submersion into the yellow-verse. I was looking forward to 3AM application architecture conversations. I was looking forward to Hess runs for Goodies headache powder, needed after walking more in one day than I had the 364 days prior. Most of all, I was looking forward to meeting -- some for the first time -- truly amazing people that I talk to literally every day.

However, those playing Lotusphere Spotto will sadly have more chances of having getting a picture of Kobe Bryant (or Nathan's autograph...) than grabbing a drink with me. I can't attend Lotusphere 2010.

It's just an absolutely horrible time for me to travel right now -- too many obligations keeping me in North Eastern Pennsylvania at the moment.

The only silver lining here is that, while those of you attending are busy packing, safely traveling, and smoothly arriving & checking in at Lotusphere 2010, I will be able to redouble my efforts on items on my task list like the Lotus Notes Domino Development Beginner's Guide tutorials, the MVC REST engine (YellowCake 2.0) that I've been talking about, and the countless other items that I'm planning for 2010!
