Standing Pat

Posted on January 20, 2009 by jpv

I debated changing my proposal for Ignite Portland 5 to one of the many other things that have been on my mind, but I’m sticking with bridge, for various reasons:

  • I’m fairly certain that all of my previous IP misses have been because of overly broad topic descriptions. It’s one thing to know that I could cover “the hermeneutics of org charts” in five minutes. It’s another thing to get anyone else to believe it.
  • I really want to play bridge with similarly situated geeky newbies, and the beginner’s lessons at Eastside Bridge Club never work out.
  • I can hold a contest for lamest “Bridgetown USA” joke to use in the preso if I’m selected.
  • It’s a fairly light and fun topic that doesn’t require me to think too much.

    So, there you have it. We’ll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone who submitted a proposal! And if you haven’t yet, there’s still time! Get a move on!
