Upfront Week In Review - 8/15/08
I’m sitting here, soaking wet like everyone else, but greatly enjoying the Echo Conference thus far. For those not fortunate enough to make it here, here’s a little recap:
Johnny and Chachi opening up with an 80’s power medley.
Mark Batterson teaching the first keynote.
Mark Steele and Jeff Houston recording the Steelehouse podcast live with guest Kent McKeaigg.
Todd Wagner teaching the second keynote.
But Echo is not the only newsworthy event that has occurred this week. So it’s time for a little Week in Review.
- Harry Potter fans, an invisibility cloak may be on its way, but sadly, the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been delayed until next summer. Blimey!
- Were some of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies fireworks faked? Yes, but this goof up is 100% real: Why not to use Windows when running demanding multimedia presentations.
- Mark Batterson continues to post snippets from his upcoming book, Wild Goose Chase.
- Watch the Religulous movie trailer.
- Tony Morgan asks “Why do we Twitter?”
- A new twist on what things look like from space. Amazing.
- Bill Gates predicts the future.
- Read this SvN post, “Gearheads Don’t Get It,” immediately. Seriously. Go.
- Do schools kill our creativity?
Check back tomorrow for more highlights from the Echo Conference.
