gnomdex day one

Doug, always working hard.

David Dederer, formally from Presidents of the United States of America, was one of the most interesting talks this morning. He explained how artists really make money, and all the points where the record companies take a cut.

Sen. John Edwards. Net Neutrality and the lack of balls in the democratic party was discussed.

It was okay, but, I’m holding my breath until real action is taken. Search on John Edwards.

A blurred picture of the just launched BlueDot. I thought it was pretty stupid, and the blue balls were just a ‘we have VC money to waste’ statement to me. Search for BlueDot.

Oh yeah, and Doug, Robyn, and I got up on stage for 30 minutes and talked about the ‘next big idea’ for aggregators. I think the session went really well. We actually got some clapping, and we gave away a huge bottle of wine.

Laughing Squid has a huge set of photos posted.

Time for bed. Day Two starts early tomorrow.
