Macs at mesh

June 5, 2007

Something that was apparent at last year’s mesh but even more apparent this year: Macs are the notebook of choice at mesh. They were everywhere this year. From Loren Feldman recording video on his Mac, to Tom catching up on email, to Austin surfing in a spare moment, to Andrew moderating his panel, to Pema […]

Free Speech Follies

June 5, 2007

If you follow media in the U.S., you know that one the issues that has confounded commentators for years now is the FCC’s approach to indecency in the Bush years. In that time the Bush Administration has rolled back the clock on indecency standards, and has (some would say, deliberately) created a confoundingly ambiguous standard […]

Getting un-meshed

June 2, 2007

The only thing harder than getting ready for mesh is coming down after it. After months of work and anticipation, the intensity of the conference is a pretty powerful experience. Leaving that behind and moving on is actually quite difficult – particularly after what’s been a successful effort. It’s not easy to un-mesh, but writing […]

Community Means Always Having to Say You’re Sorry

June 1, 2007

And there’s nothing wrong with that. One of my favourite take aways from mesh (where the idea made appearances in several sessions), and my favourite potential panel title for next year. OK, the only one that’s occurred to me so far. But it is kind of catchy.

“Meshed”

June 1, 2007

If you were there in the room with Austin and Tom on Wednesday morning you felt it too. Tom has some very personal observations about their keynote conversation. I’m never going to forget those 60 minutes.

Stick a Fork in Me, I’m Overdone

June 1, 2007

Loren’s just posted an interview from mesh yesterday. My biggest regret from mesh07 – not taking my shirt off for my interview by Loren Feldman. The worst kept secret of mesh: Loren is the funniest, smartest and coolest videoblogger on the planet.

Mike Masnick at mesh07

June 1, 2007

One of the highlights for me at mesh was to be sitting in on the “Monetizing the Long Tail – Life Beyond AdSense” panel that Mike Masnick was involved in – I’m a big fan of what Mike’s done at Techdirt, and follow his work pretty carefully. After getting him up here, I had to […]

Much More mesh Media

Something I Learned at mesh Today

May 30, 2007

Ethan Kaplan of Warner Bros. is one heck of a smart guy, and very likeable to boot. Pay close attention to what he says about music – he’s very rarely every going to be wrong or dull. My new dream keynote conversation about music online: Ethan and Bob Lefsetz. Stranger things …
