Cameron Sinclair's work is extraordinary. It makes me want to go change the world. And yesterday in a short conversation he mentioned he'd be in Portland tomorrow night on a layover for his flight out, and I offered to have dinner with him. I didn't know who he was at the time. Serendipity.
It meshes with Rob Neuwirth's earlier presentation, Suketu Mehta's talk, Peter Diamandis' philosophy (although turned on its head, a bit), and Yochai Benkler's point about social production, distributed creativity, and shared projects. My head is hurting because I need to let some of this sink in. But, wow. There are some great people changing the world with really good ideas. Why aren't I one of them?
P.S. You've got to listen to some of these presentations. Streaming audio at IT Conversations; podcasts to be available in a week or two.
