Speaking at Public Media

Thursday, February 08, 2007 by Dave Winer.

Good news, I'm speaking at the Public Media conf on Feb 23 in Boston, as outlined here and here, I guess it was compelling. Thanks to Doc Searls for his help.  

It also looks like I may lead a discussion at Microsoft's Mix 07 conference this year, after not getting an invite in 2006. This time I knew there was a problem in advance, and apparently asked the right question of the right people, privately.  

My proposed topic is "Let's design the perfect podcast player." No one makes it now, not Apple, not Microsoft, but a lot of people who listen to podcasts have an idea of what they want. It makes for a good, spirited, productive discussion.  

BTW, the conference ends on my 52nd birthday, which is a once in a lifetime thing because my birthday is the 2nd day of the 5th month. Yeah I was a math major. And because I'm a programmer I'm superstitious.
