ONA 2006
Friday, October 6th, 2006I’m in Washington, D.C. for a few days for the Online News Association conference. Getting here was a bit of a bother: I found out when I got to the airport that I didn’t have a ticket, and I found out when I got to the conference that I wasn’t registered. Both kinda my fault, but annoying nonetheless.
There are some great speakers here, including Mark “Anyone-who’d-buy-YouTube-is-an-idiot” Cuban.
Everything is connected by WiFi, of course, ‘coz it’s cool and all, but wireless just doesn’t have enough bandwidth for all the cool, flashy “best of the medium” stuff that the journalists what to show off. Maybe a hardline or two for the presentations can be arranged in the future. But then again, we’ll have 802.11n by the time the Toronto convention comes around in 2007. Maybe.
