So I did my talk<\/a> yesterday at ETech<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think it went pretty well, although perhaps I should have focused a little more on the tech side of things. Turn-out was ok, considering that I was competing directly with Danny NTK<\/a> O’Brien, talking<\/a> about alpha-geeks and their habits. He’s more or less the stand-up comedian of the tech world, so it was a tough job.<\/p>\n

My presentation is on-line<\/a> at the O’Reilly site, and mirrored<\/a> at wire.less.dk<\/a>. I also have a page of related links up on my personal Kwiki site, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And here is the blog coverage I’ve ben able to dig up so far. (Again, all the a-list bloggers were covering the comedy show next door.<\/p>\n

* Stefan blogged the talk in German, at his site, no-information<\/a>
\n* German tech-news site heise.de<\/a> has coverage<\/a>, which is intriguing, seeing as I haven’t seen anyone from there at ETech.
\n* Jason Calacanis<\/a> has brief coverage<\/a> on his ETech specific blog,<\/p>\n

In general there’s been a good bit of interest in my project, and a lot of people have told me how cool they think it is that we’re doing this shit. it belies my previous rants that noone cares what goes on outside the us. It’s probably more of a case of not knowing what’s going on, than not caring. One thing is sure. We won’t have a problem finding skilled volunteers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
