David Dylan Thomas started his closing talk strong with such a good quote.
It's still going strong.
Like his talks title says:
"No, seriously, fuck engagement: Building a more human web"
Weird WC-based thought about #BTConf - how nice to be at a tech conference so well attended by women that I occasionally have to search for a free cubicle 😆
Not that the search is fun. But it's so nice to see that we're here in force :)
These Dyson taps can get in the sea, though. Terrible UX, hard to understand how they work. They also blow the water on my hands back at my waist area, and makes the edge of the sink all wet.
@laura I particularly liked this character, as one of the personas I could embody to help enact change (more agreeable characters were also suggested!):
Beyond Tellerrand day 2 is being kicked off by @laura with her talk Small Technology: Building Tech That Respects Our Rights
Exactly up my alley, even if some of the findings are hard pills to swallow 😬
Ferdinand Ulrich (@[email protected] or @[email protected])'s journey to finding the history of digital type pre-postscript started when we spent time with 92 year old Jack Stauffacher at his Greenwood Press in San Francisco.
Time is scarce. We have too much to do. We can't keep up. We can't mindfulness our way out of it.
How would the big creative minds of history have coped in today's time-scarce world? What are today's creative minds doing? Are some of them stuck tweaking buttons?
How can we use AI to reclaim our time? Can we use it to brainstorm ideas? Have we use it to boost our own learning?
Natalya Shelburne just burst onto the stage with so much energy but with a completely open heart.
"Channeling Chaos: Role of the Artist in the Age of AI"
She's going to convince us that AI does not mean the end of art. She's an artist. Let's go! #BTConf
Michael Trautmann is reading from "On the Way to New Work" - 7 Stories from a journey that has only just begun.
A quote he just read that stood out to me personally:
> If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.
- Stephen R. Covey
Makes me feel validated now, that in my working life I have tried a lot of different bottom rungs.
Sophie Tahran has quite the challenge on her hands, to represent a century-old magazine's branding and voice online.
She mentioned @gretchenmcc's book Because Internet, as it's not so simple just to move the print version word for word online, because the internet has changed the way we use language.
How to do this, while avoiding the "how do you do, fellow kids?" feeling?
