Transition

The Religious Policeman stopped blogging yesterday to work on a book.

Coping haven

Had a nice break with Geoff, walking around Copenhagen today.

Reboot redux

Visuals from my talk at Reboot8 are up. Included are links to the original file, plus a growing photo set from the conference.

Among those remarking on the conference (and in some cases the talk) are Rasmus Fleischer, Johnnie Moore, Peter Rukavina, Chris Heathcote, Trine Rahbek, Henriette, Robert Paterson, Tom Zilstra, Eoin Dubsky, Ben Griffiths, Benjamin J.J. Voigt, Lee Wilkins, Michael Heilemann (whose English is so absent of a Danish — or any — accent that he could be from Kansas or something, rather than Copenhagen), Tom, Kars Alfrink, Michael Hartmann, Rachel Clarke, Bruno Giussani, Henrik Fohns...

Claus Dahl of imity has so many good posts that it's easier just to link to his June archives.

Don Marti: Picture "live"ness as a slider, not a radio button. Agreed.

Not related, but interesting: Bloggrers Anonymous on connections between conferences and moxie.

Along a somewhat parallel vein: Tinderbox Syndicate says,

Doc continues to advance his vision of the internet as one vast electronic strip-mall. In such an environment, social spaces become products and services one can sell because they will have become scarce.

I didn't say that. Hopefully, what I said here, here and here in my talk will clarify things a bit. Sort-of along that vein, here's Bill Kinnon, writing from Nairobi.

Just noticed that the above quote was Dave Rogers'.

Many thanks to Thomas, Nikolaj and other rebooters for putting on an outstanding show.

Not ready for toon time

Hugh MacLeod: I'm not sure if I get Doc Searls' "Intention Economy" idea yet. But I also think "Marketing is Bullshit" is a lot closer to the truth than "Marketing is Dead".

Had a great time hanging with Hugh, by the way. He's an insightful, creative, funny, deep and generous guy. Not a common combination.
