The Amateur Episode: Question Not Question, Stumbling
into Librarian, Emerson College, Zero Sum Games, The Early Web,
TEXTFILES.COM as Library, Your Amateur
Moment.
I've tried to take a (minor) sour moment and turn it
into something positive. I also got to give some thoughts on some
generalized criticisms that are usually subtweeted in my direction,
although how much this episode moves the needle, I'll likely never
know.
The presentation, by the way, was a lot of fun and I got to meet
some really great folks who I'd never had the chance to meet. I
found out about some long-memory examples held up in in the
professional spheres, and I hope to research those to have what
other lessons could have learned. Also, lunch was amazing and
someone handed me a stack of hard drives.
Also, now you know why "Rank Amateur" is in my twitter bio!
