USITT Part 2

Well now that the conference is over in Phoenix, it is time to get back on track. While most of my time was spent interviewing, I did catch a couple of sessions. Also – there were some great products on the expo floor. So while what follows is a conglomeration of info, there is some good stuff.

At the Digital Swag Session these were some of the finds. A more complete list is available at the presenter’s homepage:
