Last night marked the opening of Foo Camp: O'Reilly Media's annual get-together of technologists, futurists, cultural creatives, artists, and other folks wonderful. Here's a quick snapshot of memorable bits from last night:
- Long conversation with Brewster Kahle about fostering both information transparency and individual engagement in politics
- Meeting Ray Ozzie and being too tongue-tied to talk about anything
- Dancing on the lawn with Brady Forrest while wearing laser gloves that create glorious patterns of red light
- Tom Coates making me laugh uncontrollably during Werewolf with his special version of 'braaaains'
- Mike Arrington offering me $100 to set up his tent
- Seeking out your nemesis, enabled by Pathable results as powered by Tony Stubblevine's Crowdvine data
- Meeting Tom Steinberg from mySociety and realizing that I need to hook him up with Brewster Kahle
- Painting in light onto digital photos with Julian Cash and Gregg Brockway
Saturday's schedule promises to be a braingasm.
