my flickr feed has been a bit constipated until now. here are a few picts that i finally uploaded...

as some of you may know, i'm currently addicted to flickr. beyond it's status as the best voyeur site on the internet, i'm trying to track down the history of "gatorman," a graffiti artist who paints the same 'gators in damn near perfect fashion. today, to much my delight, i got the following message...

...and just when i thought we'd be unmasking gatorman... google translates the text into the following...

"hello, I see gatorman in Geneva everywhere, but does it is what the history, caption… related to this drawing? can you eclaisir me? : D thank you"

AHHH!! the mystery continues...

i really don't want to even think about putting up a blog post digesting today's notes.

a few reasons...

one - i spent the day running around thinking, and getting ready for the open stage...
two - most of today's content really doesn't even come close to yesterday's presentations... though, i did enjoy Sugata Mitra's and David Galipeau's comments in facing the digital divide...
three - some jerkoff, called me an idiot and said yesterday's notes were useless...

in the meantime, check out my flickr photostream while a find some q-tips, clean out my head, and get tanked... btw, keep you eye on the space below... i will be twittering.

BIG, big day... ahhh, i am now living under dire consequences. i'm stuffed with hot cheese fondue, and contrary to everyone's warning i am drinking a cold beer and will polish off a 1.5l of water.

later tonight, i'm going to summarize my thoughts in a separate post, and toss them up here tomorrow morning. my new hostel (really same old hostel, just a different room, a single room no less...) doesn't have wee-fee so my online activities are confined the hostel's bomb shelter. I AM NOT KIDDING. You'll see a few pictures of the door tomorrow. until then, these are my running thoughts from today's sessions. i have to apologies to all the speakers whom i couldn't attend... don't worry, i'll watch your videos and comment on them later... ;)

many kisses goodnight!

i'm normally not a huge fan of the super bowl. consistently, i'm sitting in a room of people too immersed in the statistics to have a sustainable conversation on the weather. this year, i found my self in an interesting predicament.

tired and exhausted, i limped though the day. finally, after a tea and drinks with florian, a buddy from last year's lift, and a heavy couscous dinner with laurent, the head organizer for lift, we headed back to the same Irish pub i had breakfast. after laurent's departure, i met up with my alabama breakfast mates and we watched don johnson get smoked and prince rock the house!

in the past 48 hours, i've had to ask my self the following questions...

1. why in the hell did sky sports put don johnson as a sports announcer?

2. is "gatorman" geneva's serial graffiti artist as prevalent as neckface?

3. do you know what's a intersquat? they have a great logo

4. how comical is it to see stencil artist copyright their logo.

while i'm in geneva, i'm going to be posting back and forth between this site, noneck.org and my open-source travel project, On the luck of Seven. there's already one juicy story, and once i find a higher speed connection, i'll be flicking some pictures up. Until then, I'll see you on the luck of seven!

big day... i purchase two crucial elements, a sleeping bag and a pocket video camera. both items will be my best friends for the next year. speaking of best friends, i'm debating what to do with my apartment.

tomorrow, i'll head to geneva to host the open stage at the best european conference, lift!
