SciFoo Day 1

What I love about coming to conferences is that I sometimes get to meet people who have done things I love. Now, I’ve never been one to admire people from afar. I always tell them. Life’s too short not to. I have no embarrassment whatsoever in gushing to someone about their work. Sometimes I think people are a bit weirded out by it.

Last night, I was sooooo happy to be able to tell Chris Riley that I LOVED (lovedlovedloved) his film. I saw him across the room, left Brian and basically interrupted a conversation he was having (sorry) to dork out. Brian then came over and we talked The Apollo Moon Missions for ages.

I then spoke to Jane MacGonigal who I was so happy to finally meet in person as she’s one of the Girl Geeks whose work I particularly admire. I was totally into The Beast. It changed my life and how I think of the web (and when I met Spielberg the other month I told him how the marketing of his film was revolutionary)… I was so happy when I Love Bees happened and Jane came to prominence that there was a young, intelligent, attractive, NORMAL woman in charge of it. I heart her.

Anyway, there’s loads more to write, but we’ve got to get over to Google for a busy day.

  • Brian Didn't Get Dawkins' Job -

    Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
