A quick note re portmanteaus

I'm banned by Paul from dragging all that up again, so here I go! You might be interested to know that client appreciation has gone all 'manteau this time.

Blackboard have invited us to experience the Amazing Discoveries of Educology - oh dear
"ED·U·COL·O·GY (n) The science or art of successfully combining e-Learning’s essential, kinetic elements: Educators, Blackboard and Innovation"


But the really special one, we'd expected nothing less, is the Presidium/Parature joint cocktail party which is being held at The Musicquarium which is the heady cocktail (sorry) of music, drinking and a 1900-gallon fresh water aquarium - who could ask for anything more :-)

Just for completeness, disappointingly manteau free but still up to its ears in fun, the Educause event instructs us to gather up our squadron and soar into the wild blue yonder at Just Plane Fun! at Seattle's Museum of Flight, where we'll experience a unique night of flight - all 7,500 of us!! ...think of the queues!!

Some of you have heard this. At a recent interview, the candidate's powerpoint included the phrase:

the need for newtworking

I feel there may be a lot of newtworking going on in Seattle. Hopefully no see through floors this time though.
