Balancing OLPCs at NorthernVoice 2008
One more NVoice shout out - Luke Closs had an OLPC with him and taught me a LOT, including how to balance one on your chin. Here I’m getting into it slowly by using my teeth to help. Later I balanced, but sitting on the ground so the fall would be shorter for the little green and white sweetie. I’m still a digital grasshopper, oh Master Luke!

What I missed at Northern Voice
The challenge of parallel sessions is you have to miss something, particularly if you are playing a lead role in your own
session. Makes it hard to skip out. There were two sesssions I really wish I had not missed. One was Dave Olson’s F*ck Stats, Make Art Dossier.
Apparently, Dave was on the same stream as our “Writing on Walls” session - tapping into our creativity. I’m glad the session was recorded and blogged. It was interesting to see that there were quite a few sessions that pinged on a central core of creativity.
I also missed Alan “cogdog” Levine’s preso on 50 Ways to Tell a Story. I’ve been following the evolution of this presentation since last summer and was looking forward to the “live” version, but I was deep in a conversation with Dave Pollard and one does not drop the chance for a great conversation. So Alan, know I was beaming you and I’ll look for Injenuity’s video. (And I’m glad, Alan, you caught Scott Leslie’s “Trackback Love“. Geek poetry!)
