A reminder and a request

The reminder: For those of you living in Sofia, Joy Ito's talk is today at 17.30 at Hall 65 at Sofia University.

The request: Could someone please put a sock on your head and come kidnap me from the office so that I can attend as well. My desk is next to Var's and looks NOTHING like his:


Thank you in advance.

The blog is excellent! The talk...the talk was mostly disappointing, I thought.

I will not write a dedicated entry about this as I missed both the beginning and the Q&A session. Whatever I will say is based on the 50 minutes I heard, which although does not give me the right to speak authoritatively on the subject, does allow me to share my IMPRESSIONS. So this is nothing but that:

I did not disagree with a single thing he said. I simply think he tried to cover way too much in a very limited time frame. That's why, to me, it seemed that he barely scratched the surface on most of the issues he talked about. It could be that he didn't get enough direction from the organizers or perhaps, the talk was intended for a more general audience...I don't know. But I left thinking, well...yeah...so?!

Leo, what were your impressions? Do share! I could be totally off.

I agree - the guys who organized it hadn't given him much direction if any whatsoever... I actually think VMarkovski asked Joi to talk about blogs, but fortunately Joi didn't obey =]
And I agree on the 'barely scratched the surface' part... but it couldn't be otherwise due to quite many reasons in that were present in this case...

anyway, I've jotted some impressions here
