Liveblogging ROFLThing NYC, pt. 1 Saturday, Jan 24 2009
the internet 9:23 am
Getting in late on account of not being able to find a place to sit down and plug in but PROBLEM RECTIFIED, so please to click through, after the jump.
12:23 – The Reddit fellow is talking about memes. Someone just shouted that Rick Astley looks like Emperor Palpatine. Good morning, internets.
12:24 – Nancy Pelosi, creature of horror.
12:25 – Applause for the Comic Sans guy. Weird. Unexpected. Etc.
12:27 – There appears to be a fedora’d silhouette on the projector. Fail.
12:27 – OLPC caption: “HURRAY FOR PORN”
12:29 – Now for sucking at photoshop. I am told these people made a wonderful video. It didn’t load when I tried to watch it. Again: fail.
12:32 – Something about Google Documents. This is a bad idea.
12:33 – Now watching You Suck At Photoshop. Or not, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. GREAT VICTORY. Okay there we go.
12:33 – No, actually, it’s still broken. STALL, SPEAKER, STALL.
12:34 – This is a metaphor, for the internet. It doesn’t work as intended and ruins everyone’s plans, ever.
12:36 – Just helped some other dude plug in. This place is going to explode or short-circuit or something. We are literally going to destroy New York.
12:37 – Not going to talk about the slides.
12:40 – Still not going to talk about them. It is hard, the internet.
12:41 – It’s like I walked into the end of this conversation. I was clearly not meant to watch this video.
12:43 – It also sounds like maybe they are talking about my blog except nobody actually reads my blog.
12:44 – (if you hadn’t guessed, the slides have failed due to audience participation. 4chan is here. FIGURE IT OUT.)
12:45 – Burn.
12:46 – The slides were done with GIMP, not Photoshop. Extra burn? Also: the internet has hijacked the internet con.
12:47 – And now, the meta conversations begin…
12:50 – uh.
12:51 – Rule 34 was just invoked. It’s getting hazardous in here.
12:52 – Woo chaos etc. THE MORE YOU KNOW.
12:52 – And that concludes part one. STAY TUNED FOR MORE I guess?
12:56 – Okay, go here.
