I was fatigued by the Fictional Showdown talk today so I missed the 4 pm slots but anyway, it was reported that the Taboan is supposed to have a website up soon which includes photos as well as recordings (and hopefully they're better quality than mine).
As usual, it was great running into people both familiar and new.

THE END OF PRINT. |MP3|
Web-based publishing, traditional print publishing, and print-on-demand: the meaning of publication has multiplied so much these days. Has the meaning of quality, or rigor, or intent changed as well?

Hey!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I was there for the fictional showdown. When I arrived they were discussing sci-fi and political commentary, so I really missed the introductions and whatnot.
