… goes to Mike Linksvayer for his anti-copyright, pro-Creative Commons slides.
Mike Linksvayer is a smart guy, and I love his writings sometimes, but he is a marketing moron —power one million. His set of slides —> directly in the trash can of the cyberspace. He could have done something great, but has not.
Mike, eat more read meat and try to be more accessible to normal people, if you want Creative Commons to be understood and spread around the cyberspace.
I won! Yay! Congratulations to me.
Those slides are not really intended to be used without me talking — they’re cues. At a live presentation I hate information packed slides that are merely read by the presenter, but those same slides are far more useful to web readers. I have not found a happy medium.
So why did I post an incomplete presentation to the web? I had a precognition that I could win an award by doing so.
NB, my presentation was not anti-copyright.
Since a presenter will have a bigger audience on the Web than in the phone booth, it’s good policy to make the slides readable for the web readers.
As a presenter, you’re not compelled to read your readable slides.
Laugh about precognition; laugh; go laughing. I’ll have the last laugh.
Fucking good links, Jed. I’m reading them.
