Make your own Conference

I hope Hodg*Con09 has a CFP next year, so I can share my own areas of expertise with John Hodgman.

There are many things to love about John Hodgman, and not the least of which is his adoption of online tools. Not only does he blog (since 2005, to coincide with his hilarious book of “facts”) but he has a very witty style well suited for Twitter.

Hodgman is best known, of course, for playing “PC” in the popular Apple ads with Justin Long, as well as for his guest spots as an expert on various subjects on The Daily Show. He also has compiled a list of hobo names. Hodgman tickled my fancy recently by declaring himself to be his own convention, and then used Twitter to report on its progress.

A Ph.D student in informatics at Indiana University, Kevin is rich in spirit. He wrestles and reads with his kids, does a hilarious Christian Slater imitation and lights up his wife's days. He thinks deeply about many things, including but not limited to basketball, politics, microblogging, parenting, online communities, complex systems and design theory. He didn't, however, think up this profile.
