Returned early Saturday morning from the Great Southern Land across the Tasman. The conference was good – the plenary talks were engaging and a couple of the papers were really helpful. Met all sorts of interesting people at the conference, though time was pushed for extended dialogue. Several highlights (among many) for me.
- enjoying the company of the people I was staying with in Canberra
- finding another person at the conference who had recently finished a PhD in theology and technology, including work on the imago Dei and technology (I spent a few hours reading the thesis in the library)
- having lunch with Paul in Melbourne and catching up with Darren briefly
However I picked up a nasty cold on the plane on the way over which was a little sapping. Spent today trying to knock it on the head by taking things a bit easier before back into the writing tomorrow.
