I took this week off bar a brief guest appearance as Rhod produced a superb mix from ROFLCon. Before that we heard from:


  • Dennis McCauley of the blog on the political and cultural rows surrounding GTA IV

  • The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Maggie

  • I spoke about

  • Jamillah spoke to the excellent Fred of about blogging Congo

Well now for the moment you've all been waiting for Rhod's ROFLCon report. Over to you Rhod:

"Email from Chris: "Spies inform me that this years ROFLCon is happening at MIT (starting Thursday).If you look at the line-up it's a MUST for Pods and Blogs Fark, JibJab, Tronguy! LOLcats, One Red Paper Clip, all our "and finally" stories in one big joy packed conference hall."

Do not look a lolcat in the mouth, so I went. Halfway through the afternoon a young woman confronted your correspondent, "you're like from the ´óÏó´«Ã½, this is awesome. I just saw the New York Times. This is, I mean, totally." And so it was. Judge for yourself on the podcast.--RHOD"

Well I think it lived up to the billing. The sites featured in the podcast are ,,, , , , , ,

Phew. There's more with the Lolcat guys here (an extended interview I did at SXSW) two of the smartest and most thoughtful internet people it's been my pleasure to talk to. Quote, "people say a picture tells a 1000 words, well we have the 15 that matter."
