I hope to contrast the deafening silence here with several posts in the next few days from the Editors' Association of Canada (EAC) conference, beginning tomorrow evening. I asked if there was wireless access from the venue, Victoria College at University of Toronto, and was assured that it was available, but later discovered I actually have to be booked into residence overnight to get it. So I'll be cruising the neighbourhood looking for hotspots or, worst case, posting when I get back in the evening.
This will be my first EAC conference in many, many years -- I've been lazy, or busy, or indifferent -- never mind, this time I signed up with enthusiasm. My editing career has been the foundation of my information design career and I continue to find the company and conversation of other editors enriching or at least comforting. Yes, even those who wax poetic about cat names or rant at length about typos in the Globe -- these are my people.
