Jyri kicks ass!

Eyes on the ball. Image borrowed from Bjoern.

Although I was aware of every single point of Jyri’s talk in advance, it was absolutely mindblowing to see him deliver these crystal clear arguments live. Jyri reminds me why we are here at reboot; not just to talk, but to enjoy great talks! Big thanks.

Reeebooting!

At Reboot with all these great people — Adam, Henrik, Erik, Stefan, Alexis, Joel, Ulla, Jyri and many more — realising that (sadly?) 99% of all the interesting talk takes place between the talks! Aside from the great keynote by Doc Searls, there’s a lot of talk about things we already know all too well; blogs, creative commons, tags, wikis, etc. Of course it’s nice to to hear people like Jimbo Wales explaining the philosophy that spawned Wikipedia (interesting factoid: ~2% of Wikipedia users provide ~75% of the content!), and David Heinemeier Hansson talking about how he created rails; but all in all, these talks really serve more like wrap-ups or receipts of things we already know in and out.
Anyway: summer is here, I’m rebooting. Fantastic to be here!
