re: Net Ae 2.0 panel webcasting…
I'm going to live twitter it as much as possible (multi-task much?). That's right! Liveblogging (ok, twittering) while I'm on the panel! Yikes! Of course, twitter is extremely slow right now, so we'll see…
I'm here: http://twitter.com/twhid
I'm going to be on an Amtrak train with very slow GSM connectivity (unlikely to be able to stream) so if anyone wants to txtcast it to me via AIM or twitter I'd appreciate it; my name on both is wizardishungry.

Thanks, billy. I missed the feed so this was appreciated.
I gotta say the enthusiasm of this bunch who cared enough to watch the feed–random as it is–is a nice antidote to the bile on some of the other threads.
It was a fun night, and I was honored to be at the "PC table."
blurps
may b u killed twid ?
tom: "I gotta say the enthusiasm of this bunch who cared enough to watch the feed–random as it is–is a nice antidote"
perhaps, but to really appreciate it it'd be great to know who was talking and when
as it is, it's just a repost of a boring chat
The transcript says who was talking and when.
As for content:
"There is no basement in the New Museum or the Alamo" (Pee Wee Herman reference)
"Why did all these people leave the room?/They [panelists? audience?] suck./Not enough LOLCats" (there was attrition of the audience during the panel)
"This is just as awkward as being there for real" (funny)
"I've joined a bunch of online communities but never like 'the' surf clubs that get promo'ed so much now."
"Surf clubs are more of a fun thing, easier to look at than someone's personal blog which is more serious."
"I don't know - my blog has completely become like a solo surf club." (funny)
Guthrie attempts to describe a mock panel discussion that Damon (one of the panelists) said his school did. No one is listening, so he bails.
Rhizome-1 never revealed her identity.
I could keep going–as a panelist I found this meta level interesting.
Hi Lauren:
Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the panel.
Does Rhizome plan to post the video doc of the Net Aesthetics 2.0 panel on the internet?
Cheers,
Lee
Hi Lee-
Yes, we plan to post video documentation of the Net Aesthetics 2.0 panel to the site. Working on it!
Thanks,
Ceci
rhizome-1 was me: billy rennekamp: intern for the summer.
Thanks again, billy. I should add that there was indeed a full house, and people seemed to be having a good time, although there was some attrition, and notable sighs and groans during T.Whid's presentation. (I figure if he can make shit up about audience response I can too.)
Just hearing about this recently.
