\"2020<\/p>\n

I just flew back from a virtual conference and, boy, are my virtual arms tired.\u00a0 I attended the 2020 Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition by sitting at my desk — a huge improvement over hauling my arse and other body components to Melbourne as I normally do. <\/p>\n

In this short post, I’ll give you are run down on the pros and cons of the Virtual Smart Energy Conference because I think they’re a great way to reduce emissions by eliminating unnecessary travel.\u00a0 Also, it should reduce the number of luxury sports cars on the road, as I’ll no longer be supporting the extravagant lifestyle of whoever owns the Conference Centre vending machines that charge $5 for a bottle of Pepsi.<\/p>\n

Virtual Conferences — Green & Disease Free<\/h2>\n

The reason why this conference was virtual is that there’s a horrible plague on the loose in Melbourne.\u00a0 According to rumours spread by my Rockhampton friend, spending too much time there can result in the following symptoms:<\/p>\n
