AGU day 1: Geologists 1, Publisher 0

Here at AGU, the wireless is working very well. The only exception is when I try to access Elsevier's sciencedirect.com, which is moving at tectonic plate speeds. Last meeting, I noticed the guy next to me had his tablet out and downloaded each paper mentioned in a talk to follow along. That conference had 78 people. This one has 20,000.
