4:00 PM -- Just one more round of digital housekeeping, and this blog will resume its normal activity of covering whatever I feel like.

This round of photos was taken last week with my 1990s cameraphone. The clear, in-focus snaps were contributed by Light Reading's events maven Laura Imbriano, LR reporter Ryan Lawler, PR biggie Bruce Manning, and someone at Cisco who is so incredibly humble that they don't want a photo credit:

My first round of blog pics from NXTcomm is here: Chicago Pics. The three slideshows from our team coverage of NXTcomm here:

• NXTcomm Slideshow, Part I
• NXTcomm Slideshow, Part II
• NXTcomm Slideshow, Part III
