…and by that we really mean that we’ve confirmed Dan Sinker, the voice behind that which is @MayorEmanuel.

If you’re not familiar with the whole saga of Dan and the role of his deftly-fuck-laden anonymous bit of Twitter epic poetry in massively disrupting the election news cycle of a major metropolis, you really need to get yourself to this here article.

You may be also interested in the inexplicably published book of those tweets. We’re mentioning this because we’re hoping that Dan will relate that time that Rahm himself showed up at his book party and signed the book, “You are an Asshole.” For serious.

You can read more about Dan at his website, in particular his awesome work with the Knight-Mozilla News Technology Partnership, which we’ll be sure to force him to talk about at the conference in addition to the lolz. Excited!

Tastefully Offensive Sponsors ROFLCon

The man, the myth, the legend.

We had the pleasure of meeting the classy and inimitable Mr. Christian Baker – who is the mastermind behind Tastefully Offensive — when we were out in Portland a few months back running ROFLCon Summit.

As we learned later over lunch, in the true spirit of ROFLCon, Christian is basically a scrappy upstart – a one man army operation devoted to single-handedly digesting the web and distilling it into a fresh, single-malt data stream of the amusingist things the internets has to offer.

In any case, we’re thrilled to announce today that Christian will be breaking the mold and jumping on board as the first non-veteran sponsor of ROFLCon III! Welcome aboard!
