Help @pattidigh choose the 4th wall of a "writing shed" along w/ dry-erase wall, chalkboard wall, & bulletin board wall. I think velcro. |
@davidleeking diff btwn me & good public speaker--I can get up there ONLY because I care so much for the topic. Pro speakers can just do it |
@t not saying I *recommend* doing it (what the whole felony thing), but it can be a provocative thought experiment / rabbit hole |
@retrogrrl the way I felt about public speaking until recently: terror, ill. Still have stage fright, but it gets better... can even be fun. |
@t 100% NOT ethical. Also big diff between forcing them to do what WE think would improve their life, & forcing THEM to do what they choose |
Tired Q: "what would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail?" Fight Club Q: "what do you wish you'd be forced to do at gunpoint?" |
@copyblogger Fav Fight Club scene: forcing the clerk (at gunpoint) to follow his dream to be a vet "Tomorrow, breakfast will taste better." |
@rotkapchen true, but meta point is, if you can't do what you *normally* do, what ELSE might you do? (in old days, broken TV==games, books) |
@kevinmarks After all, if your dog "knows" when you're driving home... [didn't you have that talk at Google?] |
@kevinmarks I was thinking more sci-fi, eg. we go from tweeting talks in RT to telepathic extraction & tweeting of what speaker WILL say. :) |
@kevinmarks me too! If the progression is "looking for something to blog about later" to "looking for something to tweet NOW", what's next? |
@evilrob VERY important point re: attendees-as-reporters... you cannot simultaneously fully engage w/event AND type it all in real-time |
@evilrob can't argue with that one -- taking questions from around the world in real-time == definitely interesting. |
@johntunger that's a good reason, but smaller events (sub-SXSW size), a bulletin board (atoms, not bits) worked fine for arranging meetups. |
@evilrob do we really know that 'net connection makes events "more interesting"? Or do those things help compensate for event weaknesses |
RT @tkunau : "happened at NextWeb in Amsterdam & everyone stopped typing and started talking. Best conference in years" |
@vinylart yes! Like those 24-hour filmmaking or music making jams or the ad-hoc-game society... what can you make in a locked away weekend? |
@johntunger Events were hugely successful before expectation of net connection, so what has changed? & have we traded something for this? |
@burke_eric perfect! You'll have to pay MORE to attend the super special elite unconnected event. Didn't Scoble do "off the grid camp"? |
@imrananwar true ;) when we had our last long power outage, the first two days were about complaining, then we broke out the board games |
