Out-teched (3/24/08) - Rhiannon Bury

Narrowbanding (3/17/08)

ArtBarCamp (3/16/08)
A standalone event or co-located at BarCamps or SciBarCamps, ArtBarCamp would have an emphasis on doing art in workshop formats, experiencing different kinds of art and talking about art. TED and SciBarCamp include artists and the audience has an opportunity to experience art, but not create it. In an increasingly 3d data work, it is necessary for everyone to develop and use visual display skills, an integration of art and design (shaping and making our environment in ways without precedent in nature to serve our needs and give meaning to our lives).

Repli-trash – MMMIs (mmmmmmeS!)
Massively multiple media instances

The great unwashed, untagged, un-meta'd information out on the web; text, audio, video, etc. that is dead even to the user; orphaned personal and corporate intranet pages and other data that is invisible to higher levels of indexing, identification, organization and use.
Authenticity Charlatanism Grabbing a URL, group name, tag, or other web content category without having the traditional world authenticity to do so, e.g.; the Prosper Harvard and Wharton MBA Lending Groups are brand leeching; they have nothing to do with real Harvard and Wharton MBAs.
OK TV
