What do I do?
I am the sad little multi-media entity known as Mark Maynard. I have a blog that a small select group of unemployed and angry people seem to read. I'm active in progressive politics. Some friends and I started something call the Shadow Art Fair. I'm presently trying to get an outdoor, bike-powered film series started in Ypsilanti. I also paint, make comics, and publish a magazine called Crimewave USA. And, most importantly, I sell kick-ass Christmas cards
. And I also have some startup experience.
Why am I going?
I'm not a geek. I'm not a technologist by any stretch of the imagination. I am, however, interested in new business formation, and any number of other things that may sprout forth from an event such as this one... At the very least, I'll cover the event for the geekier readers of my site. I suspect, however, that I'll find a niche somewhere and contribute something.
If I were to lead a session?
I'd probably be most comfortable talking about community organizing via the web, blogging in general (from a non-technical, more content-side perspective), or this new outdoor, bike-powered film festival thing I'm trying to get off the ground.
A random fact?
I am much larger in life and closer to you than I appear on the screen.
Where to find me?
If someone wanted to find me in person, there best bet would be at the December 6 Shadow Art Fair, where I'll be ladling out gumbo and hugging people. Outside of that, the best place would probably be on my blog.
