Some data worth remembering

August 19, 2007

A session at the conference made some video shorts related to the idea of “why you chose the shirt you’re wearing.” Chris Brogan posted all five on his site. I am in the first one, but my favorite (an impromptu comedy about alternative definitions of techie terms), which has nothing to do with the original topic, is embedded below.

It was filmed in a way in which individuals were told to stand against a wall, given a term, and asked to elaborate on the fly. It’s also a very good display of the different people who have come together this weekend.

“What’s Facebook?”

“A really dissatisfying porn magazine.”

On a side note, the Tribune-Review covered us.

    That’s really great. Also a great idea for that sort of conventionish thing, which I don’t completely understand, but admire nonetheless. I saw the website. Is it sleepover?

    Ben - Definitely not sleepover. Although, I’m sure the Art Institute wouldn’t mind a few hundred bodies on their classroom floors. They’ve been great.

    Well it’s not your space!

    That’s awesome.

    You know what? A sleepover next time. I love that. Let’s start begging norm now.

    You missed one really important point in the exercise: your experience with iMovie. That is SO COOL to me. Thanks for being part of it.

    You never know how it’ll turn out. : )

    I saw your video and realized I saw you around all PodCamp and never said hi. I feel bad now, a missed opportunity.

    I like “run straight…sideways.” I want to hug that guy.

    Chris - If we could somehow mix this past weekend with a traditional sleepover camp, I would be in my glory. They are sort of polar opposites, though.
