So, it’s official, Laughing Squid is going to Gnomedex 5.0.
Gnomedex is a 3 day web technology event organized by Chris Prillo that takes place June 23-25 in Seattle. I first met Chris back at Webzine 2000. At the time, we was living in Iowa running his blog Lockergnome, which is where the “gnome” in Gnomedex comes from. Maybe I can talk Chris into coming out to San Francisco in September to join us again at Webzine 2005.
The primary focus of Gnomedex is blogging, podcasting and other forms of online publishing and distribution. If you are not familiar with podcasting, it’s a way of distributing audio files through RSS, which then can be downloaded and played on a portable mp3 player (ie. iPod, hence the name podcast). Gnomedex is a big event in the podcasting world, in fact last year’s Gnomedex was one first places that bloggers were introduced to podcasting. Now a year later it has become a really big deal and major media outlets, like ABC, are starting to offer their own podcasts. At this year’s Gnomedex, two of the pioneers of podcasting, Dave Winer and Adam Curry, are the keynote speakers.

If you meet Adam Curry, drop Webzine in his ear as well. Maybe he’ll want to visit SF in September too.
You know… Webzine would be a blast to do again. :) Let me see if I can talk Ponzi into heading down there.
Noriced you just linked to my blog .. thanks .. I’ll be at Gnomedex and it might be fun to say hello to each other.
I guess I’ll just have to look for the squid in (multi-legged) jeans and a t-shirt and introduce myself ?
Yes, I’ll be the squid in the Laughing Squid t-shirt.
