A lot of important stuff to think about - and I really love the attitude of Andrew Keen.

Ballooning the Interview: Hacking Back at North Korea with Open Culture

My talk at the DLD conference,"Hacking Back at North Korea" tells the story of getting information into and out of the most closed place on earth. After NK hacked Sony over the interview, The Human Rights Foundation repays the favor, launching thousands of copies of the Interview (along with wikipedia, DVDs and small radios) into North Korea via high altitude balloon launched from the DMZ. I wondered what North Koreans would think of such a strange American comedy, so the talk features footage shot last week of North Korean defectors watching the film and telling us why the Interview is threatening to the Kim dictatorship. Plus: a live remote from Seoul featuring top North Korean defectors, the results of this summer's Disrupt North Korea hackathon in Silicon Valley, and the treacherous history of taking on dictators with satire ( featuring both Charlie Chaplin and the Three Stooges.)

Dark Lord Day 2015

It was cold. It was wet. and muddy. and sometimes windy. The lines were longer. But we still had a great time. 

This was our 7th? 8th? year in a row. Every year has its own challenges. The event isn’t for everybody. But if you go in expecting chaos and you’re able to embrace that there is no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy it. I get frustrated by people complaining about it not being perfectly executed. perfect is impossible when  20,000 drunk people get together all at once. have some perspective. 

This year was the first time we traded beer. Our Upland Vinosynth Red for some New Glarus Rasberry Tart and something else. that was fun. 

Abby and I both won the lottery. She picked out the Coffee, I took the 2yr Portuguese Brandy Barrel. This makes up for striking out last year. 

Thanks to all of Abby’s parents and step parents for hosting us, driving us, watching our kids, and generally making the weekend a huge success.

Seems that hipsters only care about the environment on social media. There were empty beer bottles ALL OVER @3floydsbrewing property as well as other places where lines formed. What a shame. You brought it, you can pack it out or wait until you find a dumpster. #dld15

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, - Conquest, War, Famine & Death, is an 1887 painting by Victor Vasnetsov - Google it. So every technology era has its four horsemen driving growth and innovation. In the 1990s it was Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, and Dell. today the four horsemen are Apple, Facebook, Google and Amazon. Sit tight and hear this talk from Scott Galloway from NYU Stern about why that is about to change and change our lifes profoundly.
