Talks
Really the aughts were my days at the podium,
especially the years 2004–2008, right
before the crash, sure, but also right before YouTube! This
irony was marked by camera failure for my IxDA keynote in
2008, a talking on walking, and one of my alltime favorite
events. Since then I really am a thing of the past on the
speaking circuit. I do not Tweet. No Facebook. Thus ever fewer
calls. And would you miss flying, as it has come to be? Saving
some carbon here. Still I would be glad to contribute a talk
wherever appropriate, and I am generally willing to escape our
new polar vortex Great Lakes winters...
Here for at least something live are a couple of podcasts:
On learning and feedburning, an interview on Section Cut, a networked curatorial enterprise among Taubman College alumni/ae
About Ambient Commons, an MIT Press interview
A couple of events I took part in last year:
City by Numbers: Big Data and the Urban Future (Oct.2014)
MIcities – technology innovation in Michigan cities (oct.2014)
Just to document that it ever happened...
