Just found out tonight about the event when Dan shared with us Dean’s new Emerging Media blog. SPIN: Society, Persona, Interactivity & Networks in conjunction with Ars Electronica. This Texelectronica 06 Symposium takes place in various venues but most presentation are scheduled to happen at the Modern in Fort Worth. I am very pleased that although it’s the busiest of busy weekend, I can drop in to hear the wonderful Casey Reas talk about Processing on SAT morning.

Though the Whitney site doesn’t accurately reflect what a great show this was – Full House was truly thrilling for me. One of my most favorite artists and at my very favorite museum.

JA in a Day
October 11, 2006
How strange did it feel to stand in front of 30 fifth graders and tell them that I had studied art when I was their age and… That I was still using those very same skills as an artist today? All these years later.
JA is Junior Achievement and while I’d heard of the organization, I did not know that there was now a superfast, one-day version of volunteering in the classroom. The company I work for descended on a school and took over all the classrooms for most of the schoolday. What a very enlightening experience.

What is Web 2.0?
A phrase that often refers to Internet-based services; such as social networking sites, wikis and communication tools that let people collaborate and share information online in previously unavailable ways. –> from Aaron’s presentation.
Videoclips, podcasts and MP3s are now available online; see Webmaster Jam Session Conference site. And as I like to do after listening and absorbing and meeting new people, reviewing my notes always brings up new info. My uber-compressed notes start with a list of URLs.
