Gone Meshing!

I'm out of the office (and the country) today and tomorrow at "mesh" — Canada's premier tech/new media conference, which I attended last year in a highly controversial appearance. I'm hoping to cause even more of a fracas this year — it ain't a party until a laptop is hurled across the room — in my panel on "Private vs. Public" wherein I will moderate a scintillating discussion about online privacy and whether it's your RIGHT to see Facebook pics of scantily-clad young co-eds, dammit. Panelists are Nancy Baym of the University of Kansas, who has the good sense not to have a photo on her Facebook page; philosophy professor and author Mark Kingwell, who has written books about cocktails and happiness (coincidence? I think not); and Ken Anderson, assistant privacy commissioner for Ontario (in Canada, not California, wiseass) who will listen to what we have to say and then legislate the hell out of it. It should be good fun. I promise to detail it extensively on my Facebook page and intersperse it with photos from the party later on featuring drunk mesh participants that totally don't know they're being photographed. Aw, that sentence made me miss Michael Arrington.

This is the longest 'Out of Office' message I've ever seen!

Sklar has been 'out of the office,' and not funny while doing it, for an awfully long time.
