HOW design conference

I have some time on my hands while I am at the HOW Design Conference in Boston. Yay, right? I am not much of a blogger, to be sure, but I'll see what kinds of posts come out of this experience. I am sitting in the lobby of the Westin Hotel Copley Place, waiting for a room to be available. The hotels in Boston are slammed this weekend due to lots of college graduation activity in addition to the conference and probably the beginning of the tourist season. I had to stay in the 'burbs my first night here since there was nothing available in town. I made it down to Boston a little too early this morning, though... and now I wait. I went to register at the convention center, but my first event is not until 2 and it's 11:30 AM now.
