“Interesting is a night of 20 different 3-minute speeches on a hugely wide variety of topics. The idea is to replicate the experience of clicking from one really good blog to another, ranging haphazardly across culture, sciences, arts, crafts, whatever. They’ve been held in London, Sydney, Amsterdam, NYC & Vancouver, BC.”
Here are a few of the talks lined up:
1927: The Real Birth of the Cool
A Brief (and otherwise secret) History of Sans Serif Typeface
What We Still Don’t Know
How to Pick Fruit
One Day Robert Duncan Went Insane
A Contemporary Idea of Justice
Donut Eating Contest by Voodoo Donuts
10 Lessons of a Bicycle Delivery Soupman
A Visit to the Land Mine Museum
