fredshouse.net PARC talk summary

fredshouse.net: the medium that is eating the world is a summary of the talk I gave at PARC yesterday. Interesting that he felt that I was “was trying a bit too hard to be academic and researchy” — yikes, that was one of the least researchy versions of that talk I have ever given…!

Anyway, he took pretty good notes on the fly; alas, without all the jokes.

arr, the link seems to be broken. Is it perhaps available elsewhere?
