Going Solo in Video

Update, 21.02.08: the open stage speech video is online!

Unfortunately, we have no idea when my open stage speech video will be available. I guess this shows you why it’s always better to attend events rather than rely on technology to give you second-hand access to them. For those of you who didn’t attend my speech (because they weren’t at LIFT, or because they arrived too late on Thursday, well… I can only say I hope the recording is not lost and will surface at some point. (Let’s say “it’s complicated”.)

I was interviewed at least four times after my speech, and I’d like to point you to two videos which are online — and are, in my opinion, pretty good :-)
First, my friend Robert Scoble caught me off-guard on Qik:

Then, Nicolas Charbonnier did a really nice interview of me with his HD camera. I can’t embed it here, but you should head over to techvideoblog.com and watch it there. (Maybe I’ll stick it on YouTube or something later on.) Third time lucky — thanks for insisting, Nicolas: I said “yes, later, not now” the first two times he approached me. I’m glad we did it!

In other news, registration is working (yes! people are actually signing up!) — be sure to pass the word around so that your friends don’t miss the Earlier Bird discount (only until this week-end).
