Tim O'Reilly: Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco 2010 - Co-produced by T
Tim O’Reilly is the founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media , Inc., thought by many to be the best computer book publisher in the world. O’Reilly Media also hosts conferences on technology topics, including the O’Reilly Open Source Convention , the Web 2.0 Summit , Strata: The Business of Data , and many others. O’Reilly’s Make: magazine and Maker Faire has been compared to the West Coast Computer Faire, which launched the personal computer revolution. Tim’s blog, O’Reilly Radar , “watches the alpha geeks” to determine emerging technology trends, and serves as a platform for advocacy about issues of importance to the technical community.
I've been talking for years about " the internet operating system ", but I realized I've never written an extended post to define what I think it is, where it is going, and the choices we face. This is that missing post. Here you will see the underlying beliefs about the future that are guiding my publishing program as well as the rationale behind conferences I organize like the Web 2.0 Summit and Web 2.0 Expo , the Where 2.0 Conference , and even the Gov 2.0 Summit and Gov 2.0 Expo . Ask yourself for a moment, what is the operating system of a Google or Bing search? What is the operating system of a mobile phone call? What is the operating system of maps and directions on your phone?

CS for Kids, Pwn in a Box, Mobile Companions, and 8-bit Linux Why Our Kids Should Be Taught To Code (Guardian) -- if we don't act now we will be short-changing our children. [...] their world will be also shaped and configured by networked computing and if they don't have a deeper understanding of this stuff then they will effectively be intellectually crippled. They will grow up as passive consumers of closed devices and services, leading lives that are increasingly circumscribed by technologies created by elites working for huge corporations such as Google, Facebook and the like. We will, in effect, be breeding generations of hamsters for the glittering wheels of cages built by Mark Zuckerberg and his kind. (via Karl von Randow )

Tiny Speck
Watch the Glitch teaser video Tiny Speck is a small company building something enormous. We show up in the afterburst of highly charged particle collisions; we are the only-imagined baryon consisting of two charmed quarks and one strange. We will blow your minds.

A Data-driven Look at the Real-time Web Ecosystem: Web 2.0 Expo
The awesome team over at dropbox invited me to come by and give a talk. They have a great post up at their blog, but you can also grab the slides here and see the full video on youtube . I have an old, short, and concise gmail address (my first initial and last name at gmail.com). There are many other hmasons in the world who have since signed up for gmail, with variations on the “hmason” theme.
