"The way to be interesting is to be interested"

I could write a really long post on how amazing Interesting 2008 was on Saturday, but I won't.

Instead I'm going to leave it to the others who have covered it so, well, interestingly (even though "interesting" doesn't really cover it at all) before I got the time to - but I will put up a few choice cuts and say a few hellos.

There's a Flickr group, a timelapse video, SlideShare event and more discussion here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and lots more (thanks to Roo for collating all the coverage).

Here's a video of The Recorder Incident from Tom Taylor (spot me playing jazz flute front row centre) :


One from Jim Le Fevre and his Phonographantasmascope:


And the "Hellos":

Hi to @tomnixon @monkeyliz @willmcinnes @carlsonator @jopkins @r_c @special_noodles @alicebartlett @blackbeltjones @rooreynolds @herdmeister and the biggest thank you to Russell Davies for putting on the event in the first place!

And I was really very interested, so I hope I'm more interesting as a result!
