So I'd heard, re: Broken Angels. I think I'm going to hold off on buying it for a bit, though. My plan is to snag the Stirling and Stross books tonight, as I'm almost finished with Queen of Candesce.

Loved Infoquake, Multireal and now reading Geosynchron. Good new take on the Cyberpunk Genre.

Altered Carbon is awesome, too – but if you expect the same feeling from Broken Angels you will be disappointed. It is much more traditional sci-fi than the near-future, noire atmosphere that perpetrates Altered Carbon.

The Portland stuff is really quite good, and yeah, you make a great point about the source of the people and how it ties into the type of audience that shows up. Not sure if that can be rectified, though.

here’s what I think:

The whole event was dominated by the social media crowd. It was how people got tickets, and the presenters were mostly the local social media elite. There really wasnt anything inspiring. There’s room to do better. I hope someone throws IgniteMPLS 3 soon. Other cities are on their 8th event. Check out these topics from PDX on Wednesday. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CA481F9D10785D59

Indeed! I may need an editorial eye on the content of my bicycle biz website, so it would be good to pick your brain.

Next month, next year, whenever the next ignitempls is I want you to present! And not just b/c I want to heckle you.

And hey, let’s do one of those real conversations sometime – and soon!

I do miss being able to do that — the iTunes browse.

You know what else I miss? OurTunes working. My god, the fun you could have in a coffee shop with free wi-fi.

I certainly thought so.

Well, yeah. See, I’m socially awkward and wouldn’t have thought of that.

I thought the idea of the Vespa rocker was cool. Just WAY over the top.
