Vicariously Experiencing ABA TechShow

This is a week that I normally commune with geeks, bloggers and amateurs de toute technologique at the ABA’s TechShow ^[1] in Chicago.

This year, it’s being chaired by Toronto’s own Dan Pinnington, who has become the fourth CanadianFollowing Chester, Tamminga and Bilinsky to chair the premium legal technology show.

I started going in 1986, which was before the Flood in technology terms, visiting the extraordinary Infomart in Dallas, which looked like a capsule from the future.

But this year, I’m following the adventure through the blogosphereDennis is sitting it out too ^[2].

If you’re a thirsty blogger (pleonastic I would have thought) and in the Windy City, the Bloggers’ Pub Crawl ^[3]starts soon.

More conventional dinners ^[4] are planned tooThough not Ross Kodner’s splash ^[5] this year.

You can check out the exhibitors ^[6]. Or there are free passes for the real thing ^[7]too.

The best is Bob Ambrogi’s webcast which covers today’s events in Chicago and interviews Dan Pinnington himself. ^[8]

And of course our own Dominic Jaar is there in person ^[9].
