Links for June 11th 2008
June 11th, 2008 | by Tama |Interesting links for June 8th 2008 through June 11th 2008:
- Change Congress - NCMR keynote [Lessig Blog] - Lawrence Lessig’s keynote at the National Conference for Media Reform arguing for a mobilisation of talent to try and end (or, at least, decrease) the corruption in the US Congress.
- J.K. Rowling Speaks at Harvard Commencement [Harvard Magazine] - Rowling gives a really delightful and heartfelt commencement talk at Harvard, rather frankly talking about the importance and benefits of failure, hitting rock bottom, and working out what’s really important in life.
- 280 Slides - Create & Share Presentations Online - Nifty online version of powerpoint/keynote software. A lot more elaborate than Google Docs, but still a long way from Keynote or Powerpoint. A very good, simple and accessible way to do the basics. (I wonder when Google will try and buy this little startup?)
- Sex and the City: A Product-Placement Roundup [vanityfair.com] - The product placement in the Sex and the City movie makes the producers of the James Bond films look like amateurs!
