The videos from the keynotes in Chicago are on the aior.org site: http://aoir.org/?q=node/745 though they are a bit small, they are interesting. This thanks to the efforts of several students. Also in Chicago, I audio recorded a handful of the sessions (4?), after asking permission of the speakers. I'm not sure I agree that it impedes discussion, but I am equally unsure that audio is of particular value on its own. What might work is a bit of self-archiving. Many of us now have cell phones or mp3 players that can record audio (and video, for that matter). Perhaps the best course of action is for those who are interested to record their own presentations--audio, video, photos, blog posts, slides, or what-have-you--and tag them on del.icio.us, Flickr, or technorati with "ir80". I'll pledge to do that for my presentation, and so, 1/200 of the conference is covered :). - Alex -- // // This email is // [X] assumed public and may be blogged / forwarded. // [ ] assumed to be private, please ask before redistributing. // // Alexander C.
