Dinner with Phil and Jon

I didn’t recognize anyone who was already sitting down at dinner last night, so I took a shot in the dark and sat in the middle of a big empty space at an underpopulated table. After but a few moments, Phil Windley (the legendary Phil Windley, whose name is quickly acquiring the extension “the blogging CIO of the State of Utah”) sat down next to me. We got into a good conversation about his presentation, and then after a few more moments Jon Udell sat down.

We had an exciting, wide-ranging conversation about everything from digitial ID to Byte magazine to working in government to preaching. I knew of these gentlemen, and respected their stuff, and was not surprised when they turned out to be terrific conversationalists.
