Tara Horn - how to be a refugee. step one is opression. Burma has 3 out of 4 listed forms, so we begin there. disobedience is the only option if you want to be arrested or interrogated. 6 hours to pack a bag and flee to rangoon. Now you seek asylum in kuala lumpur. This is an excellent, well-delivered presentation. wow, utter silence for the 20 seconds she mentioned the next step being to wait. Attentive folk. nex, there is resettlement, my god, this process is brutal. goodbye to everything you know, hello, life. Welcome to America. Gods. tara@burmacollective.org Go email that woman, better yet, how many refugees do you know personally? Do you think without friends and family here that it is going to anything but lonely?

@lawduck Bridge! renewable bicycle cards, ha. Bridge is just like twitter, pack that info into the table-talk. Hm, that statement was just about demanding that the geeks in the room code something to beat you at bridge. :) hey wait, this is actually a good presentation getting me interested in playing bridge! good job! bridge at opensource bridge anyone?

Personal Telco - Broadband needs. Why is fiber good? Capacity. So we think about what comcast is doing right now. mmmmm k. wireless sucks, at least for capacity. saturation is quick. That last mile of cable does restrict your control. Consuming is boring, be a producer. Think like streets. *applause from the crowd* Non-discrimination, neutral access to the colocation facility. drive down costs, heck yeah. Financing? $450 milling for a fiber network in portland, 1/10th of the cost of a bridge over the columbia. There's huge infrastructure advantages. Oh no! The government shut your slides down! Sing!! "the last slide I do remember" be willing to pay what it costs to provide.

Kate Fossman Writer editor and snarky bitch. sweet, chica. Say what you mean, and say it in a way you yourself understand. Really? Awesome. I'm doin okay then. ;) Okay, you're a little loud, where's our sound equallizer? Mean what you say, have the courage to share your convictions. Be concise! don't add a bunch of superfluous verbiage! "kind of annoying, but whatever" Yes, she is, I like it. Know wha tyou write. research what you don't know. Write form an expert perspective. I hope this set gets posted to youtube, this would be an excellent primer for folks learning to write, and and good way to start out. Hmmmm READ! Oh, I don't read, read anything!!! Vonnegut readers represent!

Chris Sullivan, Ham radio - geeks playing with radios. Hey, what could go wrong? you're supposed to experiment. "scary people, I hope tha tI'm not one of them!" reading from slides, Bad! no biscuit. also, removeyourself from the feedback zone, dude! google latitude all done already by ham radios any 1200 baud modems, please leave. Also, don't be a jerk hey, no more morse code requirements.

Sarah Gilbert Hacking the world with kids without a car. Not a how to guide, This is a meditation. Sweet. reading from slides, no!! Argh, again. well, the meditation part is good. guided meditation complete with adorable children on their bicycles. Okay, physics, hard to have a high speed accident at slow speeds. this is begining to sound like my daily bike commute, extra snacks, a helmet, panniers stocked, bundling and lugging, but is the journey not the point? reuse old tubes it is not a yes or no question. you can do this. take the hills slowly. you will have to walk at some point, its okay. remember your identity. pounding pumping, working. you are a part of something, a community, you may make up gang signs to flash a other parents toting children. look, listen, breathe. it is all there is. you are already here. you are a character in this storybook. you are the change. Thank you to clever cycles. I'm not ready to leave this presentation, it was too meditative. I live that meditation daily, wait, that means I can go back! Hooray!

Jerry Ketel - How to know if you're a narcisist - how do you spot one? seductive until they don't need you. they will be your best friend. we all want to be famous, right? (um, no! thanks.) omg, there's a series of slides on binladen, bush, sam adams!!! Ack - no, well, maybe, oh man.

Selena Deckelmann How to kill 4 chickens in 3 years. Awwwww. :( First lesson, be impulsive. they have then right now. Go, get them! So, let them be free, set them fre ein your backyard. third lesson, keep your schedule. don't change it for the chickens. number 4, leave the door open. step 5, get more chickens *the audience goes wild* Yes, leave them out overnight. Oh no, a racoon!! :( Racoons, not afraid of the flash. leave the chicken for dead, seriously. Go put the chicken back in the coop, and then, um, ew, gross, no, not maggots. oh my god. 9. use your tailpipe. Go for it, leave the door open again. Really, do it. Lastly, trust your husband. do not ask if the chicken was in there. Omg, nicely done, selena. My hat is off to you. Best presentation for delivery tonight. Also, Gross!!

Huh, handwriting to letterpress letterforms "all your Garamond are belong to us" How many Garamond revivals are there anyway? Yes, the declaration of independence was done in england, no, I'm not surprised. guess I've going to be a cynic tonight sans serif 150 years old? that's it? german and shirt to the guy who guessed that the newest sans serif came from helvetica Arial and Helvetica comparison, Arial as the bastard child.

Jim and the Story of the unverse, hm, in how many minutes? I'm suddenly reminded of seeing what the bleep in the baghdad Pop! 300,000 years gone, how many to go? Hi petit Prince! :) Exposition of Hubble's discovery that the milky way ain't everything "you are here" Earth with a pointer to Portland, cute. Timelines and Deliverables for the pm's out there. maping - to the brain? did we wind up at zombie apocalypse? Hm, I've seen these star comparison images before in an email. Ha, we are going to what the bleep! The story is pointing us to a reverential appreciation of itself. Hm, the universe really is narcissistic! But wait! we have the ability to reinvent ourselves! Reading from slides, why are we reading?

Aaron, he posts content on the internet.... things like this! Oh good, he's not a lawyer, I'm guessing this is going to be a look at agreements on hosted sites. Hm, I'm right! Terms aren't all the same, that is very true. Facebook terms of service, they can do anything they want with the content you post. Many of the others are very much the same. Are there other services out there withbetter licenses? yes. Blogger flickr and youtube are better, only for the purposes of promiting their own sites. @ahockley twitter

Damin Tarlow Suck or Blow. I have no idea. hey! we're on to real estate Nice image of barack as the yes we can image, oh man, nice photoshop! Have to have Paris Hilton in your presentation. Selena, thanks for the suck or blow image! Looking at pdx 50% more efficient buildings, woo! but can we do better? net zero is what we should aim for. "this is hard" way to go, Damin! It is totally possible. LEED is the company that certifies this We have something already going, we're already doing these things, spready it out! Check out this guy's sites, he's fantastic.

Vera, you would have enjoyed the kitten. back to android. encryption and collaboration, and omg, he really does talk fast. go watch the presentation later! App - meditation words - has google started selling it yet? :) Damn, he talks fast. Like I said,

Dr. Jayson Falkner more xkcd!! Talking about DNA - oh good, he speaks more slowly. DNA - okay, moving on - ooh! on to the interesting 5% and on to an xmen slide. I sense unrest i nthe audience. I don't need a mutation for that. Ha, in the slide, who has an Iphone, so you can look up what he's talking about. It only costs $80,000 to do genetic screening for a single trait, um, and we're at a free talk, what? Hey! Plant dna hacking 101! we were just discussing plant geekery last week, a subject close to my own heart. One more example, criminal investigations.

John Metta, none of us are making enough money, okay, you have my attention. Portland has dude, he's dissing Ignite Portland, and the bleeding heart liberals. This is hillarious. Save the world by domination, allrighty then! Free software, what is that? Dude, this guy is entirely tongue in cheek. So not writing all this down either, we're all laughing too much. a 137 step program? Start with rampant greed. #2, role model. #3, men! yes men! cause women just get stuff done. Not this chick - mother theresa...... go for dick cheney. *laughing* Will shoot you in the face. Hmmmmm, analogy anyone? WWDD? So suddenly, there's a site up! awesome talk, man.

I can agree with that. How many intersting people do you see after 12am on trimet? Dude. Don't talk to the driver, dude, its for your own safetey. Find someone to talk to, ride with your eyes and ears open. prepare your fare, don't be a douchebag!! Singing the praises of the realities of trimet, love it. OMG, 4th of july, not even in july.

Hooray, intermission. see you cats in 20. Now, for spell-check.
