An esteemed colleague asked me to present with him at the upcoming Minnesota Google Summit. Oh sure, I said. Sounds good! Submitted the proposal, accepted, and now I actually have to plan a presentation for the Summit. I have ten days. I'm sure it will get done.

The Summit also has a "Badge Challenge." This is a new learning thing where people collect badges for doing stuff. Of course, I'm usually all over this kind of thing. I love artificial rewards for moving through my days! But now I have to design a badge challenge. What will people have to do in my session in order to get my badge? This is what I have to figure out. Probably todayish. Then, I'll probably become obsessed with Badge Challenges and conceive a whole program for my Middle School. Then, I'll volunteer to roll it out next week, and learn an entirely new skillset - Coding! Web design! - in order to accomplish the task of launching my revolutionary new system within the short time frame.
