I couldn't figure out how access points are mapped to geographical locations; I guess it's via correlation with GPS data.

Jonas has another thing to say.....

Back to The Future.

Dave Winer:

Supernova and the recently announced Web 2.0 conference are throwbacks to the priorities of old conferences, of the eighties and nineties: sponsors, speakers, panels, audience.
Execs from high tech companies pay sponsorship fees, not disclosed, and guarantee that the content is paid advertising and that nothing real is said on stage. If you don’t pay the sponsorship fee, you don’t get a speaking slot. If you offend a sponsor, you don’t get invited back.

I agree with Dave and Marc. Conferences like these are more or less paid-for sales events, highly priced ones at that. Speaker selection and attendee lists reflect this trend, as well. We have at our hands what can be simply described as a traveling circus of speakers, echoing a number of messages which have been carefully selected and tailored to support the barely buried ulterior motives of sponsors and organizers.

This is less so an issue with the speakers. Most of which are genuine and looking to spread not a sales message but to educate and entertain.

I disagree with Dave on the next part:

The organization of the conferences, with speakers and panels, guarantees that the audience falls asleep or is frustrated, waiting to make their point until they get to ask questions at the end of the session.

Not so, I say. Conferences do their best to deliver a lively and inductive message. Supernova, Web 2.0, and others, make generous use of the traveling circus, add promises about financial gain or new discoveries and developments, and keep attendees on their toes.

This is, where the true problem lies. The infusion of new material, different speakers, or dissenting opinions is dangerous to the ideas of events with an agenda. A controlled message requires controlled ideas. The circus, by means of exposure, has since created celebrities of their own makings, another benefit to the organizers – big names draw big bucks, and big recognition for the advertised services.

Finding Your Place

Finding Your Place 06/24/2005 08:39 PM

Common Dreams recently published an article by Huck Gutman, a man who had the opportunity to spend a week in New York City. While he partook of the usual visitor experiences in the city, what struck him most was this brief experience watching a man in a laundry through the store window: As I walked, I passed a dry cleaner’s shop. At its front, immediately behind a large plate glass window, was a man ironing a shirt. I stopped and watched. (I should mention that I like ironing my own shirts. In America, ironed shirts are an expensive luxury unless one does it oneself; and I have found that the repetitive motions of ironing, and the concentration required to assure that one irons wrinkles out and not in, is a restful activity. For me.) He ironed, and I watched. And watched. He ironed one shirt, then a second. There was a defined progression for each shirt. First, he sprayed the shirt lightly with water to dampen it. Then, as he ironed each successive portion of the shirt he sprayed on a light dose of starch to make the fabric stiffer. He proceeded to iron the collar, then carefully laid out each sleeve and ironed them, one at a time. Then he starched and ironed one half of the shirt, placed flat on his white-cotton clad ironing table. When he was done, he lightly touched the iron to the middle of the collar at the back of the neck — just a small crease so it would fold properly. He hung the shirt on a hanger, and proceeded to the next. I, an amateur, iron quickly. He, a professional, did not. He took care, making certain that each sweep of the iron made a flat expanse of brilliant white fabric. There is something almost primeval about this recognition of the importance of doing a job with excellence. As I mentioned in my article two years ago, It's What I Do, doing something extraordinarily well is more than just a matter of pride. It essentially defines us. We are all inherently social creatures, and our sense of belonging to the communities which we adopt, and which adopt us, is caught up in, and expresses itself through, our role, our specialization. Even in the earliest tribal cultures individuals recognized other individuals' strengths, experiences and talents, and this recognition refined and defined each individual's role, and importance, in the community. These skills, these differences, established one's position, one's membership, in the community. Doing what we are, what we enjoy doing, and what we do well, is essential to our self-esteem, so it is not surprising that it is naturally selected for. A Lakota leader defines 'mastery' -- the need to build on personal competence -- as one of the four 'capacities' of 'the circle of courage' that gives each of us heart, self-confidence, and spirit. What is it that determines this special role, whether it be ironing, running, painting or writing or giving care to others? It is, I think, a product of four things: our natural talents -- things we inherently find easy to do well, our learnings and experience -- which come from study, but more importantly from practice, our passion -- the desire and focus and dedication to excel at doing this one thing, and our audience -- the degree to which this role is needed, appreciated, respected and encouraged. The search for one's personal role, our place in community, is often a lifelong quest. Today, when it is so easy to be anonymous or left alone, and in which we move from community to community often, the fourth element -- our audience -- can be the hardest to achieve. When we have no audience, when we do not know where we belong, we are left to choose what we will do in abstraction. As a result, many of us devote large parts of our lives to study and diligent work only to find we have no audience, and that no matter how great we see our own talent and acquired skill, it was all wasted time. The task is much easier when we find our audience, the community with the need for what we can do, first. In this respect we are all entrepreneurs at heart. We are all seeking to find something that is needed, and for which we have talent and passion, and the rest is just hard work. Or rather, it isn't hard work, because our passion, our natural talent, and the recognition of its value by our community makes it easy work, obvious and important. As we learn, lifelong, to do it well and then exceptionally well, we are merely following our heart, our destiny. The characters depicted in the vidcap above, from Aaron Sorkin's comedy Sports Night, have found, in journalism, the intersection of talent, experience, passion and audience. That's why they can, and do, say That's What I Do, That's Who I Am. How many of us, in the real world, can say the same, without a sigh, a doubt, a frown?
