It looks like Fay Weldon has turned herself - or at least the media's representation of her - in to a dull, sub-Kierkegaardian contrarian. And the newspapers still print this bloviating shite, why exactly? I mean, "I've found God" moments are only funny if the person really believes them, rather than just does the Guardian Special Feature "nod nod wink wink" farce. Fuck this for a game of charades. This is why people criticise the "London media elites" - because they take the most important questions in life and turn them in to a joke. If you are going to do that, it helps to actually be funny. ![]()
Critt Jarvis has notes from the Content Networks session from PodCamp. And he's displaying it all in a Grazr. ![]()
Jim Moore, who I'm meeting later today, launched a new version of OPML Workstation the other day. ![]()
Here are some podcast links from shows that gave me cards and bits and pieces at PodCamp:
SkyDiver Girls - an extreme sports show featuring, erm, ladies.
Boston Behind the Scenes Podcast - Adam Weiss' guide to Boston
Podchick - "Positive Vibe Podcasting"
Wildtab - submit your drunken stories, I think
The United States Constitution Podcast
There were so many more people here, but these are the people that I have schwag from.
Julien at in over your head: "I was at PodCamp this weekend, in Boston. I met a bunch of people while I was there, really remarkable, passionate individuals that were looking to take what they were making to the next level"
Chris Brogan: "I met the coolest people, the nicest people, the people who are making a difference in the world. I would be overstating it to say that I fell in love with almost an entire community. There are outlying folks that aren¹t my exact demographic, but I respect you, and you¹re in the family, too."
Andrew Bourland: "The organizers did all they could to facilitate good networking and introducing those who would benefit greatly from meeting each other."
If you missed the conference, apparently the organisers are going to be producing a cheap DVD with all the video and audio they can find. It was a really excellent event and a model we should follow back in my technical country of residence.
