So yesterday morning I rocked up to a gig on Enterprise Performance Support Systems put on by Dirk Tussing from Executive Learning Exchange & some dudes from Tata Interactive. An EPSS is an embedded tool that supports inexperienced workers focues processes and systems (e.g. call centre staff or claims agents). There were muffins and some nice conversation.
Then I spent the afternoon with Tim "Podcast" Keelan. Tim has a knack for constructing cool P2P learning content and a penchant for ranting - which are both good things.
I bought a ticket for this show and actually made it to the performance this time.
However, I did miss my flight this morning (boo) but by chance got to see Cory Doctorow* doing his thing at Chicago Public Library. Which kinda rocked with fists of steel.
*Kim - This guy hates CCTV and believes we must take back our own privacy - you'd love him.

Cory Doctorow rocks w/ fists of steel indeed. He's here in Seattle, and i got to talk briefly with him for Head spinningly smart guy, and it is a doubleplus good thing that so many folks are catching on to him through this latest book, Little Brother.
Matt - glad you're enjoying your US whirlwind tour. I am a great fan of Cory Doctorow and am consumed with envy that you saw him in person! We would have such great conversations about CCTV for sure!
