Jill Foster invited me, along with five other people, to help out with DC Media Makers. We had a little pre-meeting before the DC Media Makers talk at NPR headquarters tonight. It seems like a pretty good group, so I think it would be a good idea to get more involved.
Dave Saunders gave a talk about Samurai. He is an engaging speaker. He was involved in developing the internet in 1990 and worked with the people who invented the 56k modem. But he doesn’t care about connecting computers. It’s about connecting people.
A few people talked about their experiences at the South by Southwest conference last week. One person said it used to be a great creative atmosphere, but this year it had become too corporate. Someone else noted that Yelp is a great tool for stalking someone.
