<\/p>\n

General Conference was great this year, as always. If you’re not a Mormon, you should think about becoming one- even for the semi-annual General Conference alone.<\/p>\n

I watched some of it online where I had the benefit of screenshots. I debated whether or not I should post the shot above because I didn’t want it to look like I was making fun of anyone. I decided to go ahead with it because I’m serious about the picture and really wanted to share it. I love this man’s glasses, and his talk was one of my favorites- he seems like one of the coolest most genuine guys ever. It’s amazing what these people go through and the attitude they have through it. They make incredible examples- the kind the world could use more of.<\/p>\n

On another note, my mom IM’d me afterwards. Here’s part of the transcript:<\/p>\n

Leslie:<\/strong> Did you enjoy Julie Beck’s talk this morning?<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> You know, I actually don’t remember her.<\/p>\n

Leslie:<\/strong> she was the one who spoke about not putting off having a family \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Me:<\/strong> Hahaha. Yeah, I remember it- I said to Whittney “You know my mom is loving this right now.”<\/p>\n

Leslie:<\/strong> yeah – kate said the same thing to justin \ud83d\ude09<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She wants grandkids. She might have to settle for a dog first.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Paul<\/a> suggested that next conference we make graphics like that for each speaker live- sort of like Emmys for general conference, so be sure to keep an eye out in about 6 months for those.<\/p>\n

Also from Paul: he snagged this screengrab of Jeremy at R7<\/a> (who I hear is working on a site redesign) singing in the MoTab this morning. I knew he was down with music like Oakenfold, Rush, and the Smiths, but I didn’t know he sang the Hymns, too. Such a small world. <\/p>\n

And such a great wardrobe standing next to him.<\/p>\n
