March 8: Oak Hammock, Gainesville, Fla.

This afternoon, I spoke at the Insitute for Learning in Retirement in Gainesville. It is, as its title suggests, a "college" for retirees headquartered at a retirement center called Oak Hammock at the University of Florida.

It was great fun. The crowd of 50 or so all were 65 and over, but they were very engaged and very interested in hearing my views on digital journalism, the future of media and, ironically, blogs. We even created a new blog for the institute. It will be interesting to see if anyone posts to it at institute-for-learning-in-retirement.blogspot.com. Everyone who was in the audience knows the password, so maybe someone will keep it going.
