Pre-Reboot Confusion
May 29, 2007 at 5:41 pm
I’m off to Reboot again tomorrow and I can’t wait. This time round I’m being a little more organised and reading up on each talk before I go. This is also necessary because there’s a much bigger line up this year. But how do you choose between great content and magnificence? Like for example, day 1, first session:
Soul – the Story we Tell of Ourselves. By Jeremy Keith:
The soul is the story we tell ourselves. In the 21st century, part of our story is told online through blog posts, Flickr, Twitter, del.icio.us and other types of publishing. Over time I am creating an online self-image. How accurate is this portrait I paint? How can I bring these fractured pieces of my online identity together? And does this online alter-ego share a part of my soul? I might not be able to answer any of these questions but let’s have some fun anyway discussing lifestreams, identity and presence in what we publish online.
Or
Humanism 101 by Adam Arvidsson
We think we’re humans and we think that’s a good thing. But what does it mean to be human in the 21st century? And what does it mean to be a humanist and to act in the name of humanity? And is that necessarily a good thing? This talk hurries thrugh the history and main interpretations of humanism questioning wether this tain of thought really is ideally suited for us today. 45 mins total!
And the pre-Reboot kick off is happening in a park. Girls what shoes do you wear to such an event? Look good but stick in the grass high heels? Or toned down not so stylish trainers? (Probably the latter – it’s not really a heels and gloss type of event.)
Day 2, speaker 1: Stowe on Flow! Can’t wait. I missed him last year and kicked myself ever since, every time I read his interesting posts on his blog.
