Paged Media

Fred Chasen and Julie Blanc are in Athens with the Coko team and have been doing some exciting stuff… expect some pretty interesting updates very soon! Watch PagedMedia for news!

A few weeks ago at MIT Press in Boston, we had our first Paged Media event. Julie Blanc (pictured below), who works for Paged Media, wrote up a post to flesh out her awesome presentation…highly recommended reading if you enjoy geeking out about all this stuff:

Paged Media Initiative

Yesterday I presented at MIT Press.

Today, we had a truly amazing day today at MIT Press with the PagedMedia meeting. I’ll post some photos later on today, but in general, it went like this… First we had presentations from some very talented folks that use HTML and CSS to make books – showing how they did it and the results. You might think ‘wow… exciting times’… ha…but for me it was just fantastic. So many good folks and so much to learn from each. Then Julie Blanc and Fred Chasen did two awesome presentations on possible approaches to the problem. Finally we discussed these and agreed on the best path for now, and many people committed to various roles to get this all going…. Amazing…

Anyways…now in the Toronto airport, on my way to BC to do a presentation at INKE, introduced by my buddy John Maxwell…awesome!
