diggrz: Podcast and Portable Media Expo, "Freestyle Soundkit" at Conflux, Summer Music Conference, and The Vloggies
[diggrz: an SVW tag for arts, culture, trends, and events in and around Silicon Valley- new from SVW] -
Podcast and Portable Media Expo.
Word from my network is that PPE is where new media problems are solved. Begins this Friday with open registration for free exhibits and keynote passes (full conference is $299) From PPE: "The 2nd Annual Podcast & Portable Media Expo is the only industry event that brings together influential podcasters, media, corporate executives and device makers to cover the complete range of business objectives for podcasting and portable media."
"Freestyle Soundkit" at Conflux
We sampled the Soundbike installation during our ZeroOne coverage last month. Last week at Conflux in Brooklyn, NYC, artist Jessica Thompson showed another one of her sound projects, Freestyle Soundkit. From Conflux: "Freestyle SoundKit is a wearable sound piece that generates and broadcasts electronic beats as users move through the urban environment." Maybe she should hook up with the Dvinsk Clan?(flickr photo credit: rabbitsliketrumpets')

[diggrz refers to the nomadic lifestyle offered by mobile digital technologies and gadgets - creating a "nomadig" culture. The diggrz name is also a tip-of-the-hat to some of the ideas of the Diggers, a democratic group that arose in 1649, out of the English revolution .
The Diggers were a radical group that cultivated and protected common lands, and sought to create egalitarian, self-sustaining communities. The Diggers would have found kindred spirits in today's software engineer culture, and the focus on creating commonly owned technologies through egalitarian open source community projects. - Tom Foremski]
