Next week I’ll be at ACM Hypertext 2004, and it’s going to be quite a busy week!

First, on Tuesday the 10th, Matt Webb and I are doing a full-day tutorial on blogging. I’m looking forward to it — we come at the topic with approaches and backgrounds that nicely compliment each other, and we have Mark Bernstein lined up to guest speak (about Tinderbox and his Tips on Writing the Living Web). We’ll talk technology, we’ll talk ideas, and we’ll get hands-on with a few different kinds of software.

Next, on Wednesday the 11th at 2pm, I’ll be presenting Screen as part of a program of Hypertext Readings that includes long-time heavyweights Judy Malloy, Robert Kendall, and Bob Arellano.

Then, on Thursday the 12th I’m on the program twice. At 10:45, in a session called “Foundations,” I’m giving a paper that I imagine will raise a few eyebrows. It’s titled “What Hypertext Is” (final pdf) and it was revised extensively after a productive discussion over at GTxA. Finally, at 3:45 I’m on a plenary panel titled “Scholarly Hypertext: The HT’04 Experiment and Beyond.” The experiment referred to in the title is the move, by this year’s Hypertext committee, to accept submissions of hypertexts to the peer-reviewed program. Two were accepted. I’m deeply honored to be on this panel with Doug Engelbart.

More great stuff will happen on Friday, but I’ll have to sneak out partway through to make my plane to Helsinki for ISEA.
