I had a wonderful time last week in Minneapolis, first presenting at <http://www.mastersforum.com/> Masters Forum, then taking part in Cecily Sommers' <http://pushthefuture.org/> PUSH conference (about which more later). Between the two events, I got to do fun things like ride a <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_trial> trials bike for the first time (thanks, <http://wigleyandassociates.com/> Griff!) and watch a dozen <http://48hourfilm.com/> short films made in 48 hours (thanks, Sheila and <http://splicehere.tv/> Eric!). My Masters Forum talk was based on the "Outside-In" talk I debuted a year earlier at PUSH, which Ethan kindly <http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/?p=88> blogged. With a year to ponder the topic and push harder on my thoughts, plus three hours to present, I got to go much further. I don't have the audio available at this point, but you can download a self-playing PowerPoint file of my talk <http://www.sociate.com/presos/0606_Masters_Forum_Michalski.pps> here. You'll miss the first part, because I started by spending 20 minutes showing everyone my Brain (see it yourself <http://tinyurl.com/9lsr9> here). It was a nice way to introduce myself. Masters Forum has been around for over 20 years, and has hosted a bunch of <http://www.mastersforum.com/sessions_pastspeakers.asp> names you'd recognize, most before they had published the works that made them famous. posted by Jerry at <http://www.sociate.com/blog/archives/2006_06_01_archive.html#11505630074972 7111> 11:43 PM
