Ohio Regional Library Systems invite all staff of academic, public, school
and special libraries and anyone else who is interested to attend . . .
TechConnections 6: Ohio's premier technology and information training
conference
June 13 - 14, 2005 ~ Embassy Suites Hotel, Dublin, Ohio
Registration is now open for this conference featuring twenty-eight (yes,
28!) informational sessions.
Opening Session will feature Jo Budler, State Librarian of Ohio, and
Mark Minasi . . . yes, Mark is back!
--Mark Minasi is a best-selling author, popular technology columnist,
commentator, keynote speaker, and all-around alpha geek. What separates him
from many of the other alpha geeks, however, is that he knows how to explain
things to normal humans and often make them laugh while doing it. That's
reflected in his recent Reader's Choice award for "Favorite Technical
Author" at CertCities. More testimony to his popularity with tech world
came at a recent SearchWin2000 webcast on tuning computers. At that
webcast, Mark drew three times as many attendees as any previous webcast,
crashing Yahoo!'s servers.
Mark is probably best known for his books in the Mastering series (Mastering
Windows Server 2003, Mastering Windows NT Server, Mastering Windows 2000
Server, Mastering XP Professional, etc) and his perennial hardware PC repair
and fix-it book The Complete PC Upgrade and Maintenance Guide, now in its
13th edition. His monthly columns in Windows and .NET Magazine are among
the best-read in the periodical. Mark has also authored 19 other technology
books, spoken on technical topics in 20 countries, and written and performed
in a dozen technical education videos.
Mark will present three sessions in addition to a keynote speech that is
just a bit of "Minasi unplugged:" jokes, stories, and offbeat observations
from someone with nearly 30 years in the business but who's managed to avoid
becoming "assimilated." PLUS Mark will present three sessions! Comment
from a recent attendee: "Take George Carlin, make him technical, clean up
the language, and you've got Mark Minasi"
