This week: No meeting
We don’t have critical mass for the art mob liveblogging tonight. Sorry! Hopefully we will be able to arrange this event for another date and at another venue, someplace that does still allow photos to be taken.
This week, we are not meeting at the Berkman Center due to a Berkman event. Instead, we are liveblogging at the ICA! (pending a critical mass of people saying they indeed will go)
ICA Liveblogging Excursion Details
- The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) has a relatively new building, on the waterfront.
- The last time this group did a liveblog outing, it was at the old ICA
- There are cool exhibits, like the one on “Supervision”
- The ICA is free on Thursday evenings from 5-9 pm
- Neither Erica nor j can be there, so we need a volunteer to be the point person and to set a group meeting place at the ICA
- Here are directions: http://www.icaboston.org/visit/directions-and-parking
- If you are going, please comment, so we can gauge if there is critical mass for actually doing this excursion together this week
Upcoming events of interest:
- See the Berkman Calendar for upcoming Berkman stuff.
- Feb 7: Conference at MIT: http://www.mitforumcambridge.org/ww07/agenda.html
- Berkman & MIT CMS & Yale ISP are putting on Beyond Broadcast 2007 on February 24. You can now register: http://www.beyondbroadcast.net
- Feel free to publicize related events here! Let Erica or j know, comment, or add them yourself if you have an editor account.
Various upcoming & potential stuff on our schedule:
- 2/8: Marc Sacks would like a few minutes to talk on progressive talk radio. Then j will talk about blog spam stuff.
- Feb: Pushkar Phatak on a blog project he’s working on
- 2/22: Andy Carvin is back in town! He’ll have lots to talk about, and is bringing a friend, Steve Clift, who organized the Minnesota gubernatorial e-debate in November at www.e-democracy.org.
- Likely 3/8: Ted Demopoulos on his new book “What No One Ever Tells You About Blogging and Podcasting: Real-Life Advice from 101 People who Successfully Leverage the Power of the Blogosphere”
- We’re percolating at least one something to do with Second Life
- Dan Bricklin, known for his work on VisiCalc and wikiCalc
- Ben Sheldon and something about maps
- Adam and something about maps
- Tracy Rolling on maps (notice a pattern here)
- you? (It doesn’t have to be about maps.)
- If you want to help shepherd a potential future topic or if you have ideas of your own, please talk to Erica or j. We’d love - and could really use - your help!
