Rating: - Great Lounge Chairs!I purchased two of these chairs for our back yard. They are a little too heavy to be easily portable (about 45 lbs each), but they are sturdy, and they do collapse into a sturdy canvas carrying bag for transportation. Rating: - The lounge chair that goes with youI like most of the things about this chair, it is sturdy, a good neutral color, folds up easily and has a pretty good amount of adjustment considering the fact that it folds up. One negative thing: I've only had it for about 3-4 weeks and there are rust spots appearing along the metal frame. It appears the factory did cover all the metal that well with paint or it has flaked off. I don't expect it to greatly impact the life of the chair. I got a great price on this item and have enjoyed having it so far. If you are looking for something that's easy to move around, the size after folding is great. It is also heavy so you might have to make an extra trip to carry this with ... Read More Rating: - Very comfortable, but not that portable....These chairs are great for lounging in and soaking up the short sun season here in upstate NY. They take up little storage room compared to their size and are easy to fold out and back up, but are heavy and cumbersome so the dream I had of carting them around everywhere has been reduced to using them in the backyard! Rating: - Very Comfortable LougerThis was bought as a present, but I was so impressed with it that I am purchasing several for myself. The lounger is comfortable, sets up within seconds and is portable. What more could you ask for!!! Rating: - Strathwood Foldable multiposition lounge chair with carry bagVery nicley made product - I do not like the fact that the chair does not lay flat, the 3 positions it allows only sitting so a person is unable to lay flat on thier stomach to tan the back. Other than that it is a nice mesh and comfortable. |
Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
