didn't steve gillmor have a post about that scene a few months ago? or was that you? - Chris Heath
it was me. :-) - Dave Winer
my apologies for getting you two mixed up - Chris Heath
oh, ok - i think that's the article i was thinking about... Dave, got a link to yours? - Chris Heath
I agree with Woody. Wouldn't it be great if you could reach into the world and grab out someone or something to support your position at such a moment? I suppose in some ways, we're getting to that place. Will it work the same? Time... - Sheryl
I has a post about McLuhan and Allen a while back too http://bit.ly/mcluhan - Kevin Marks

Battle Decks. IL2009. It is on: http://infotoday.com/il2009/
My money is on Buckland. - Steele Lawman
I'm not one to bet against Amy. - Greg Schwartz
Greg, are you going to emcee or participate? I won't be there, so if you need help compiling slide decks, let me know. - Steele Lawman
i am trying not to freak out. yet. - jambina
I think I'm battling. My understanding is that Janie volunteered to emcee before Jane even asked me, so I went along with that. - Greg Schwartz
Someone needs to convince ITI to videorecord this and make it freely available. - Steele Lawman
What's there to freak out about? Take advantage of the speaker's reception to take the edge off and then you just wing it. Embarrassing yourself is pretty much the point, so there's not much to lose. - Greg Schwartz
ya, just freaked about being included. but i figure i can always pull out my French Canadialand accent ; ) - jambina
So, do you each put together a deck for a talk you might give and then everybody gets a random deck? - DJF
My understanding is that some people are just making decks and others are battling. - Greg Schwartz

Eric @ CS Techcast - not exactly... there is Finnish proverb (nasty one) Russians are always Russians even if you fry them in butter (ryssä on ryssä vaikka voikka pastaisi) - A. T.
@joellen I know, I was just on about all bugs in general be they gastropods or multi legged. was poor sentence structure. - alphaxion

Nothing a shaker of salt can't cure... - Jeff P. Henderson
This post confuses me. Am I supposed to go CUTE! as if these are pet snails, or am I supposed to go NOM! as if they are delicious? Because I'm not really sure I can do either in good conscience... - Jandy
EEEwwww! - Brent - Yes I am
those snails are HUGE!!!!!!! eeeewwww! - Susan Beebe

Why Physical Media Is Archaic - http://www.web-strategist.com/blog...
Downloads replace DVDs, CDs. No question. And eventually, streaming replaces downloads. - Louis Gray
While I agree in general with the points you list, there will always be content, of various kinds, that I want to own in a format that I can do with as I please, when I please, and where I please... commercial-free, proper aspect ratio and presentation (books and movies especially), and highest available definition. Restricted downloads and streaming is fine for disposable content, as long as the price is right. But subscriptions and DRM'd content also have significant liabilities. - Tinfoil 2.0
Without a doubt, as we speak I am staring at a dresser stacked full of dvds. Most of which I'll only watch one time. Streaming is much more efficient and even environmentally friendly than collecting physical media copies. I would say that the same discussion extends over into magazines and newspapers too. Would love to hear your thoughts on that. Thanks - Benin Brown
I'm doing my best to severely limit my purchase of meatspace media. I'm actually kind of creeped out a little now by paper books and, especially, DVDs. I'm not completely against' books and other media primarily because they aren't all COMPLETELY obsolete yet, but we are on the verge of complete obsolescence of physical media fetishes. - iTad
I think this also holds true for maintaining one's own library of music files, so I actually consider iTunes dated in that sense. The future belongs to streaming audio, perhaps with elaborate caching so that it works without an internet connection. That's the only future use I see for local storage for personal computers, as "cache", as "working memory". The cloud is the new hard disk. - Meryn Stol
Physical media is archaic, but the issue of conserving things for the long term isnt, and physical media really helps there. - Iphigenie
All my music is on iTunes. I'm not a big movie person and the only DVDs I have are from friends that insist I have them. Still having a tough time giving up books & magazines and haven't gone over to Kindle. Oddly, I really don't want to own books, I just haven't taken to other forms of media for these things. Meryn, I like your comment about the cloud being the new hard disk. - Jill Howard Allen
there is a cultural divide. people still like to own their music and rent their video. the younger generation will be more hip to borrowing from the cloud. - Richard Zeidel from twhirl
In before Tad says "how quaint". :P - Rochelle
For me anyway the age factor doesn't matter I'm 32 and I'd rather just "borrow from the cloud" as it were. Physical media is just something else my kids can break. - John Blanton from twhirl
The younger generation is <20. At 32 you grew up shopping in CD/DVD stores for media. You are accustomed to physical distribution. <20 will likely never have engaged with the physical; nor would they know what to do with it - - Richard Zeidel
Strangely enough the rare times I go in a music/film/games shop (once or twice a year when i miss a train), most of the people in it are <20 They have time to hang out, we don't - Iphigenie
As the early tech gadget adopter my friends always ask me why i havent got blu-ray and that they want it. I tell them i get HD streamed to me via the web and blu-ray will be dead in 3 years - andy brudtkuhl
especially when Boxee comes preloaded on TV's - andy brudtkuhl
I generally prefer having my media in digital format. But every so often an artist puts together an "album" that deserves my keeping it on disk. Now, I know this sort of accomplishment is unusual these days, and maybe I pine too much for someone to match or surpass Moody Blues', Pink Floyd's or The Beatles' mastery of that element of the art form, but I feel obliged to hope. Some albums... more... - Bob Finch
