ROFLCon
Turning briefly to the wonderful world of internet memes: ROFLCon is coming! Some folks at Harvard (although we would have expected MIT) are putting together this conference focusing on the finest of web weirdness.
Tim Hwang, a ROFLCon founder, says “With any hope, the conference will be an irreverent celebration of the amateur insanity, the 15-millisecond celebrity, and outright geekdom at the (dark?) heart of the internet.”
ROFLCon is planned for Spring 2008 in Cambridge, MA. Reading the conference web site one senses a little confusion about exactly what the conference will be like, but even if they haven’t sorted it all out by Spring ’08, it’ll definitely be a unique opportunity to meet the people behind some of the web’s most engaging oddities, and to just have some fun.
Tron Guy will be there… Paper Clip to House Guy will be there… Chuck Norris Facts Dude will be there…
I don’t know…maybe being around these people for 48 hours might not be that fun:)
(P.S. ROFL = Rolling On the Floor Laughing)
