The Baltimore Buzz

Culture in an Age of Disruption

My talk on culture in a disrupted, digitally networked era at Ignite Baltimore is now on video. Some nerves meant I read more than performed, but I'm proud of the ideas and imagery I cobbled together.

Here are much clearer images of the slides I used:

I'm Speaking at Ignite Baltimore on September 30

Nerve-wracking and exciting: I'm speaking at Ignite Baltimore #6 on the evening of Thursday, September 30th.  My proposal was to talk about older forms of culture and whether and how they can survive and flourish in the networked age.  

If you're so disposed, you can "tune in" to the Ignite Baltimore live stream here.

I'll post notes and slide images here after the talk.  I'm sure I spent at least as much time selecting and preparing the images as I did composing the talk.
