Arden pointed out that many of the OOPSLA sessions are available as podcasts - you can subscribe to the podcast feed here. Looks like I have a full set of audio for the next week's worth of exercise :)

Update: As noted in the comments, the feed is botched. The items don't have all the necessary iTunes tag information, so iTunes doesn't see them. The enclosures are in the feed though - BottomFeeder finds them just fine :)

Hmm. Dave Winer goes off an yet another rant about how invite only events are evil (unless, of course, he's invited - then they're cool). This is the part of his comment I want to focus on:

And I've heard from people that open standards work *was* done at Foo Camp this year, and David, that's a problem for EVERYONE including the people who were invited. Tim should really make that clear up front, this is a party, a social event, and you should not try to do open standards work at such an event.

As opposed to the way Dave deals with work on clarifying RSS? Where he's willing to call employers and threaten with lawsuits? How is there room in California for anyone else, with Winer's ego there?

Update: Oh, this is rich. I had no idea Winer had been invited to Davos (2000). Talk about your exclusive events where "matters of consequence" are discussed. I'd call him hypocritical, but that would be an insult to hypocrites everywhere.

I heard on the Buzz Out Loud podcast last night that the E3 game conference is dead. They talked about it, and brought up that basically, various game companies have been spending tons of money on a marketing effort of dubious value. Using online video, blogs, and podcasts, you can get the same message out, to the same audience, at a tiny fraction of the cost. That raises the obvious question: are CES and other big shows next?
