bloggercon and the emotional life
Started taking pics of bloggercon. The difference between this and supernova is like that between day and night. We're in a well lit room, everybody knows each other (more or less) and the whole conversation, is just that, a conversation.Supernova - well... it's more like a presentation, more like a black mass with the dark priests officiating. The stage lights are so bright that the speakers can't see more than 5 rows back in the audience and everyone else is in this dark room. The TRUTH is coming down from the podium on high, and THOU shalt listen...
Frank Paynter remarked: Yea, all they had to do was have sinister flags drop down on either side of the speakers.
... and I had visions of the famous Apple 1984 commercial, I just wanted someone like Doc Searls, or the Identity Woman to come running up the isle and smash the screens.
So that was Supernova. I'm glad I went. I'm worried about the mutating memes over there. But to heck with it, I'm over at Bloggercon now and having a grand time.
The Emotional Life session has been the best chat of them all thus far - for I too, have closed up about personal matters on my blog - but I'm not prepared to talk about why, yet.
