tommorris / Tom Morris

Huffduffing since October 23rd, 2008 http://tommorris.org/

I like cheese, podcasts, microformats and philosophy. And serif typefaces. This is like all of them rolled together into a pie of audio win.

There are three people in tommorris’s collective.

Huffduffed (85) activity chart

  1. Jeremy Keith — Hot Topics

    Continuing a popular @media tradition, the final session for day one, hosted by Jeremy Keith, will feature a handful of speakers discussing questions posed by conference attendees. Wear your flak jacket: there will be controversy! Jeremy Keith is an Irish web developer living in Brighton, England where he works with the web consultancy firm Clearleft. He has written two books, DOM Scripting and Bulletproof Ajax, but what he really wants to do is direct. His latest project is Huffduffer, a service for creating podcasts of found sounds. When he’s not making websites, Jeremy plays bouzouki in the band Salter Cane. His loony bun is fine benny lava. Follow Jeremy on Twitter: @adactio

  2. Don Watson on the Absurdity of Corporate Speak

    Powerpoint presentations, key performance indicators and mission statements. Do they make our businesses and institutions run more efficiently, or are they irritating and faddish, not just devoid of meaning, but actually obstructive of clear communication? In his new book, "Bendable Learnings", there is no doubt what Don Watson thinks. In this laugh-out-loud talk at the ANU, he outlines his argument for why we need to avoid the ridiculous confusion of corporate language.

  4. BarCampBrighton4: Resource Naming and Necessity

    A talk I gave at BarCampBrighton4 in September 2009 drawing parallels between URIs on the Web and Saul Kripke’s causal theory of names as presented in Naming and Necessity (http://icanhaz.com/namingandnecessity). The first half is rather technical and dry, but gets more practical as it goes on.

    You can also download the talk from Rapidshare or BitTorrent - both of which enable me to keep my bandwidth bills low:

  5. Newton N. Minow: Television and the Public Interest

    A speech given to the National Association of Broadcasters on May 9, 1961, by Federal Communications Commissioner Newton N. Minow. In the speech, Minow lambasts the broadcasters for not dedicating enough of the time of the public airwaves entrusted to them for public service broadcasting, pointing to television as a "vast wasteland".

  9. Blackboards or Backchannels: The Techno-Induced Classroom of Tomorrow

    The traditional classroom: obsolete? Chalkboards, lectures, and even teachers may be on their way out as social technology enters the classroom. How do kids want technology integrated into the curriculum? Or do they even want it? Five students speak out to debate the potential for Wikis, backchannels, and social tech, and dispute tomorrow’s r/evolution in teaching and learning.

  10. Design for the Wisdom of Crowds

    People are often dumb, so how can crowds be wise? James Surowiecki laid the groundwork in his book, "The Wisdom of Crowds." In this solo presentation, Derek Powazek will apply those ideas to the web, concentrating on how to design websites that empower people to work together to create something truly awesome.
