He is fast; he was uploading part of the event video as the conference progressed. So enough with the introductions, the first SoCon08 video is below, about 300 photos are at Flickr and here’s what people are saying about SoCon08 in the first 58 blog posts. I will have more, but my three word summary: It Was Fantastic.

Channel probably has been the most active and talented and consist citizen/professional video blogger on the Internet and will be an Off the Bus reporter.  Of course, I especially like his video on citizen journalism that he did with this professor I know.

The second birthday, really is a birthday as in brand new as in just gave birth to this blog. It’s called Serial Consign, the name of which I don’t really understand, and it is written by Greg J. Smith, who recently completed his Masters of Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design  at the University of Toronto. A few months ago I blogged  about his thesis research project, Movable Parts: The Retooling of the Los Angeles Times  and read his paper which is fascinating. But it, as well as his blog, will test both sides of your brain and link you to places like ffffound, which seems to have no practical use, but helps you see the most remarkable graphics on the net. Hey, Greg, what does Serial Consign mean? Also Greg, where is the link to Movable Parts. I have a pdf saved to my computer, but can no longer find the link on the Internet. 

Happy Birthday Amani and Greg, help them celebrate by visiting their sites.
