As much as I love to use Twitter and participate in #lrnchat, seeing those from whom I learned much at DevLearn this past week was important. A handshake and eye contact with my virtual compatriots make the social-ness of social media even more meaningful. Now when I read the words, I hear the voice, I see gestures in my mind. We were friends before we met.

"Connection is why we’re here; it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. This is what it’s all about.”
