Heather made a proposal that makes a lot of sense. A Sundance for the web. Brig agreed. Think about this: a nice space to meet and work (lightly), an on-the-spot friendly contest (like the 5K, but in place), the year’s work, new ideas, new connections, new excitement… I can talk about it – you all are the ones who could make it happen. The trick is to start small enough that a core of completely committed people can kick it off with little fanfare, but still sustain an interesting moment to build on.

OK if you’re like me
you were frustrated that the stream of the Webby Awards was embedded without controls. So you can’t zip ahead to the good bits. This link – [WebbyCast!] will play the broadcast in RealPlayer (not embedded) so you can zoom ahead to: 02:51:30 and watch Café Utne win; 03:27:00 to watch Cocky Bastard win; or 04:37:00 to see him interviewed.
The corpo-rave
was fun. Mr Cynical was pretty blasé about the whole thing going in, but I was chatting with people I never chat with any more and drinking far too many free beers and generally enjoying the whole debauched scene. DJ Mouse was great and the whole thing was entirely anti-corpo. But not self-consciously so. My poor roommate, who’s a lawyer getting set to do her articles at the Federal Court of Appeals in Ottawa but working for us part time for the summer – she’s tainted now forever. She doesn’t want to work oustide the web/multimedia world any more.
So there I was
at my corpo-rave tonight and Stefan Brand, who owns pretty well every key patent in digi-cash and micropayments, comes up to me (being introduced by my friend Tracey who puts together the Freedom site), and I’m stuttering, “uh, yeah, hey… I’ve been following crypto shit for ages and wow – you did all the work on stuff we still haven’t figured out how to get working. cool – nice to meet you!” I’ve had dinner and/or drinks with stars of stage, screen, and recording studio… But writer-biz-producer-web-boy was awed by a total geek star.
