all caps seems perfectly appropriate. :) :) :)

A man of honour.

And there were pretzels? I clearly needed more coffee than I consumed.

At last. Suffering PAS withdrawal for most of day.
Want to clarify that my assessment of Bruce Sterling was not about the Dubber stuff - I kind of enjoyed that, and they both had valid points.
Next time I shall endeavour to wear something more serving wenchly
I believe suggestions of a green nature have already been tendered and declined.. :)
Craig "Highlander" Ranapia
Please reassure me that he didn't wear a kilt.

Gosh, you mean you were hiding there too, Craig?

Geoff, I agree it would have been good to connect given we were in the same room. Saw Keith and the jetlagged Tze Ming briefly, and met Mikaere and his lovely partner who I know from other places. Not sure if the name badge thing would have worked, but alternatives not coming to mind right now. Did you talk with any obviously Orcon-sourced attendees?
I also thought Sterling did not come across as a person I'd like to know at all, despite admiring his work. Plain rude at times - although Dubber probably asked for it the first time by dissing futurism in general. I bristled empathetically, as a strategist, although Andrew's presentation was great and I am likewise hoping it will become shareable somewhere given that he seemed to be recording it.
I never thought to ask Mr Dubber afterwards quite how people are meant to fill in that right hand side of his big piece of paper if they're designing for future audiences not just the ones in front of their noses.
I get the imperative for quick prototyping, but it doesn't seem like a substitute for a long view if you're designing an industry, economy, society, city or nation. Sebastian Moffat was compelling last year on 100-year urban planning horizions, for instance.

Russell, off-topic but I hope you were accompanying Mr Dubber in his pursuit of Lagavulin post-Blend. You'd both earned it.

Mmmmm, copyediting..

And "bot" is exactly how they will find most of the alleged "infringers"..

subbing, or professional irritation?
