I regret not making the trip and I hope there is soon an East Coast equivalent. However, since I've been spending a lot of time reading survey responses from ACOR listserve members and keeping up with my own community listserves, I have to give a shout-out to these good old Web 1.0 meeting places. For example, a member of DC Urban Moms (one of my listserves) recently posted a heart-tugging plea for advice about her 3-year-old. Another mom wrote back a lovely, detailed response about her own struggle with her son's behavior (and eventual diagnosis with sensory integration issues). Here's how she closed her post: "I think one of the more serious consequences of the loss of neighbors and the closeness of neighborhoods is the perspective of being able to talk to lots of other parents. Then again, maybe we trade off real nosy neighbors for wonderful virtual neighbors whose experiences are more similar." This will be a familiar sentiment to a lot of people who have found a virtual neighborhood online, whether it's on a listserve, a blog, or Second Life. I don't know that we can put a 1.0 or a 2.0 on it, but I know it's making a difference in people's lives. I would love to hear more about the Health 2.0 conference.

The Sophia's Garden story is simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting. I'm so glad to see Karen and Richard moving forward with their vision.
