First of the Conference Videos Up!

Yow, well, as the old canard goes, “Digital video from conferences about internet celebrities always show up about 24 hours late.”

Or something.

In any case, for the one month anniversary of ROFLCon — the Respectably French folks have done the good legwork of putting the raw, uncut kickass opening keynote from David Weinberger and the “You Can Get Paid for This?” panel up on the Internet Archive. So if you didn’t get a chance to attend the conference, want to relive some good moments, or otherwise, go and check it out! As mentioned, it’s all licensed CC BY SA, so feel free to share/remix/torrent or whatever.

Internet Superstar’s LIVE ROFLCon Show, Open for Biznass

Some of you may remember that our buddies at Internet Superstar filmed a live show at ROFLCon a few weeks back, with guests Leslie Hall, Denny Blaze, and Tron Guy. For those of you who weren’t able to see the taping, it’s on the interwebs now. And it does not disappoint. Beautiful, beautiful.

edit: don’t believe me when I say how badass it is? Check out this post about how much the segment rocks.

CurrentTV’s Segment on Jay Maynard, the Tron Guy
