ETech 09, notes and links

tell me I forget
show me I remember
involve me I understand

I was asked to do a short presentation to the Flick team on the stuff I saw at ETech 2009. I donʼt normally take notes at
conferences, and I was only there for two days, so this was the best I could do on short notice. There is only one image.

It is also difﬁcult to go to a conference like ETech and not confuse, or project, what youʼre doing with what people are talking
about so I didnʼt bother trying to do otherwise. Iʼm not going to get in to what those connections are, or might be, because that
would be kissing and telling so youʼll just have to ﬁnd your own associations.

I would love to hear what other people would say using only these slides as the source material for their own talk.

Most of the slides are quotes from the presenter(s) listed in the notes. This one is taken from the last slide from Eric Paulosʼ
presentation which in turn was taken from a Chinese proverb.

<rant>It is poor form to talk about climate change, and personal footprints, and then have the nerve to say things like: If

avatars of a service

Mike Kuniavsky

I would love to be able to think of something other than iTunes when I look at an Airport Express but since the hardware and
software is designed (read: locked) to prevent that, Mikeʼs point bears that much more truthiness.

apple store, nyc

As an aside (to ETech entirely) these people have been researching using both tags and explicit geo data, associated with
Flickr photos, to infer points of interest in large cities. It turns out that the Apple store is the ﬁfth most interesting “place” in New
York City.

Tarikhʼs talk is near the 36 minute mark. Meanwhile, It is comforting (I think) to know that someone can ﬁnd a deeper meaning
in Ashot passed out on the couch.

This is me projecting, again, and getting all weak in the knees at the idea of using Aaronʼs flight pattern map tiles for Flickr
photos that have been geotagged at airports.

no training for

Eric Rasmussen, Eduardo Jezierski

This one seems really important to me. We donʼt do enough of it in general and certainly not when weʼre all hand-waving and
making happy-talk about the future.

A collection of interfaces becomes a network; A collection of networks becomes a territory; A territory exposes interfaces.

Iʼm not sure that I buy this in practice but it is interesting protective gear for touching the possibility jelly with.

Itʼs like FireEagle for your sensor-world, complete with all the sticky questions about (near) real-time and historical data,
privacy and two-way sync.
