Mark Pesce: Keynoting Australian ReMIX 2008

This year’s key­note speaker at Australia’s second ReMIX is Mark Pesce. Like LOLCODE, Mark has his own, well deserved Wiki­pe­dia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pesce

Aus­trali­ans in the inter­net com­munity would recog­nise Mark from his copi­ous writ­ings on free­dom, email, free/meshed wire­less. He is a thought leader amongst thought lead­ers in this web-centric world.

I’ve seen Mark present at vari­ous con­fer­ences through 2007, and have also enjoyed his writ­ings. At ReMIX, Mark will be elev­at­ing our ima­gin­a­tions to a higher plane: what may this highly con­nec­ted future look like?

Microsoft know Mark is going to provide some thought pro­vok­ing insights.

    This ReMIX thing… it’s basic­ally Microsoft whor­ing its new web devel­op­ment tech­no­lo­gies. So why do we have to pay $199 to go to a mar­ket­ing event? I assume there’s a bot­tom­less gin bottle or something?

    @Silgherrian: “Be one of the first in the world to receive a full copy of Expres­sion Stu­dio 2, val­ued at $1,040*, com­pli­ments of the REMIX team!”

    I wouldn’t clas­sify it as hard mar­ket­ing; in as much there are lots of smart people talk­ing about their exper­i­ence with Microsoft tech­no­logy on the internet.

    On the other hand, as it is a Microsoft thing — I sup­pose you could call it mar­ket­ing in an event.

    As you are #2 in the Mark Pesce fan club, we may have to see what we can do to smuggle out the video of his key­note from behind the iron cur­tain :-)

    If you are really hard up to Mark Pesce con­tent, there is always the gold old ABC and New Invent­ors where Mark keeps us enter­tained and edu­cated with his per­sonal groom­ing habits. :-)

    @Nick Hodge: I think you missed the key three words. Bot­tom­less. Gin. Bottle.

    If that’s not there, maybe I can live without tales of Mark Pesce’s back hair and flossing for a month.

    Oh, I have yet to read Mark’s rider.
