Etech 2006 Thoughts – Prepping to Jump The Shark?

So my time in San Diego is at an end (heading over to Austin for SXSW) and I’m trying to recap O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference 2006. To me it seemeed to run at a slower pace this year, but then because I’m in the USA for more than just ETech, I’m pacing myslef very very [...]

Kudos From Others ETech Coverage

Now this is both humbling and high-5 territory at the same time. Watching the blogosphere ETech coverage in the downtime between sessions at SXSW (hint, there’s not a lot of downtime!) I came across this paragraph of praise for attendees over at Attention Trust.
Bruce Sterling was refreshingly contrarian and had at least one killer line. [...]

Flickr Goodies From ETech

This works on so many levels! Congrats to Privateye on the words – had me chuckling while I pack up after Etech (thoughts soon) to move over to SXSW.

I’m The Seer…

…he’s a werewolf, and they are villiagers.
In actual fact the truth was he’s the seer, they’re werewolves, and I’m playing an insane villiager.
Last night at ETech saw an awesome single round of Werewolf. It pretty much guarantees that in any subsequent game at ETech I’ll get lynched in the first round, but if you want [...]

“March Preview” and “Time O’Reilly and Rael Dornfest” Tech Conf Podcasts Available

Ewan’s Guide To Surviving Long Haul

Not that I’m an expert in any way, but pulling an average of three return transatlantic flights a year (plus a number of internal flights in the UK and USA) I’ve built up my own personal notes on how to survive long haul flights. These all work for me, hopefully it should give you some [...]

Business Cards Online

I’ve ordered a new set of business cards, as discussed in this post. Thanks for all your input, so I’ve fixed the mobile number to be a true international format, and added in my Skype address (which is ewanspence if you’re interested). To go along with this, I’ve added a mini-card on the sidebar of [...]

Taking The Gamble: The ‘March in America’ Airline Tickets Bought

At some point, you always need to make a decision. My March trip to America is currently giving me lots of decisions one after the other. The plan (as you may recall) is to attend four Tech/IT conferences (BarCampLA, ETech, SXSW and Mix06) between March 2nd and March 23rd. As well as being at these [...]

ETech 2005 – Snap Summary

And it’s all over for another year. Emerging Technology is a strange type of conference. I’ve found it more tiring than the Symbian Expo’s and 3GSM’s of this world, even though they’ve all involved a fair amount of walking around the floor, or travelling time. I think it’s the sheer amount of information that needs [...]
