My research supervisor invited me to give a guest lecture on blogs,
wikis, podcasts, bookmarks, and other cool Web 2.0 stuff. I gave his
graduate class a whirlwind tour of all these cool things that are
driving the mass amateurization of the Web. I didn't even mention all
the stuff I had planned. I just had so much fun talking about
everything that came to mind. I love doing technology evangelism, and
they appreciated my enthusiasm too! They were a terrific audience with
plenty of cool ideas and good back-and-forth. They chuckled at my
jokes and answered my questions – and asked quite a number of their
own. That was tons of fun!

I wanted to record it, but unfortunately (a) I forgot to hit the
record button, and (b) the batteries I bought just that afternoon
turned out to be dead. Pfft. Oh well. I'd love to do another whirlwind
tour again, though…
