Technogeek anticipation

I have my first Stockholm-based non-work geek event this weekend: Bloggforum 3. It's supposed to be about "the end of the blog (as we know it)," but I will remain healthily skeptical about that until I learn more. I will say, however, that I'm excited about meeting some like-minded technologists in the community.

Ben Hammersley (of The Guardian) and Loïc Le Meur (of Six Apart) are both going to be there, and there will be a number of other very interesting speakers. So while it may not actually be "the end of the blog as I know it," it should, I hope, be a thought-proving experience.

Also, on an unrelated technophilic note, I'm going to be in Amsterdam later this week for the World Telemedia Expo & Conference to meet some people and research some new widget technology. While in town, I plan to spend an evening checking out the Playing FLICKR v2.0 exhibit I read about on BoingBoing a few months ago. It sounds very, very cool.

I might also go visit Rob at The Palace to see how business is going for his crew. Also, it will be a good opportunity to get the 411 on the latest techniques people are using to maximize the consumer-based revenue potential of my industry.

The technogeek inside me is shivering with excitement.
