  • Data Exhaust from Foo Camp 2008

    The term data exhaust was one of several additions to my vocabulary throughout FOO Camp 2008 (the annual “Friends Of O’Reilly” campout and unconference at the O’Reilly campus in Sebastopol, CA, to which I was pleasantly surprised to have been invited [again!]). The rather clever phrase came up in the context of a discussion about…

  • Thingamajiggr II: Attentionality, Surreality and Sexuality

    I attended Thingamajiggr, “a party celebrating the innovative Pacific Northwest tech community”, last night. The party – organized by Waggle Labs and O’Reilly Radar, and held at the 911 Media Arts Center – was fun, and the presentations preceding the party – by John Medina, Scotto Moore, Dan Savage and others – were very engaging…

  • Mobilizing Social Software / Socializing Mobile Software: Nokia Mobile Mashup

    Nokia held its second Mobile Mashup on Thursday. The theme for the event was "the future of mobile social", and we had a series of conversations on and off stage about how social software is and will be mobilized, as well as how mobile software (and devices) are being socialized. [Disclosure: I work for Nokia,…

  • Altered States, Alienated Majesty, the Vigor of Wild Virtue and the Magnetic Attraction of Awakened People

    I awoke yesterday morning, still feeling in a somewhat altered state, ruminating on Andrew Zolli‘s observation of the magnetic attraction of awakened people that permeates Pop!Tech. When I logged in, I found an email notifying me of a comment posted on a blog entry I wrote years ago, on Self-Reliance vs. Interdependence: Inherence, Adherence and…

  • Pop!Tech 2007: An Expanded Vocabulary (and Perspective)

    OK, in my last entry on Pop!Tech, I wrote that I would only be posting one more “highlights” entry … but I just had to include one more … in part because I am afraid that however much I might condense my 47 pages of notes (in a Word document), no one will ever have…

  • Pop!Tech 2007: Continuous Partial Conversations: No Ordinary Moments … Or People

    In my last post on Pop!Tech, I expressed the personal human impact the conference had on me – an extended and expansive whole body experience. Before delving into my more detailed notes of the event, I want to spend one more blog post – and more of my laptop battery power – on some [more]…

  • Pop!Tech 2007: A Whole Body Experience

    Wow. I don’t know where to begin … or where it will end. I’m writing this on a flight back from the most amazing conference I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve experienced lots of conferences). I estimate the average combined IQ and EQ level among the people at Pop!Tech 2007 as perhaps the highest I’ve ever…

  • Universal, Empowerment, Partnership (Pop!Tech 2007 pre-conference session)

    Michele Bowman, the host for our Pop!Tech pre-conference Wednesday afternoon session on "The Future of Mobility", started off the session by inviting each of the 40 attendees – and the three panelists -  to introduce themselves by stating their names followed by up to three words (a "three word introduction" of sorts). It was a…
