I just got back from the first day of Google I/O, and one of my favorite sessions wasn’t Google related or even particularly technical. It was Ignite, a fast-paced collage of talks that gives each presenter only 5 minutes total, 15 seconds per slide.
Naturally, Ignite talks tend toward the unusual. The ones I saw ranged from the lighthearted to the esoteric to the absurd. They included a (search engine) search for the meaning of life, rowing across the North Atlantic ocean, battleship with real life scale model boats and guns, and a deconstruction of funny cat pictures by an expert. (Srsly.) The last speaker even found Atlantis!
Too fun. I wonder if anything tomorrow will come close, at least in entertainment value…

…I almost forgot! Ignite also taught me my new favorite word, apophenia.
Silly conspiracy theorists. Apophenia is for kids!
