I just cruised your preso there. Really nice. You always do such quality presos. Quite thoughtful and very interesting. I find your presos more interesting than the new Batman movie AND every opera I've seen in SF, to compare two ends of the spectrum!! ;-) I'm always bummed whenever I have to miss a Simon Phipps preso. I also like the fact that you tend to build on your themes: rivers; artisans; commons. Those are deep themes, and you do a good job of continuing to keep them fresh. I also think that you do a tasteful job of weaving in the Sun plugs. Your presos are one of the best examples of how it is possible for commercial plugs to be genuinely informative. There are very few who can consistently manage to do as well as you do at being authentically intellectual while simultaneously staying on your employer's message. I really wonder what you could do if you didn't have to stay on-message, and could drop the commercial bits. Not that I mind the commercial bits too much. Sun does good stuff for the community, and its Participation Age advertising thing is one of the best marketing blitzes to come out of corporate America, period. Still, I just wonder what else you could bring in if you didn't have the professional constraint of staying on-message. Christian Einfeldt, President, Simon Phipps Fan Club.
