ROFLing the Airwaves

If you are a person who likes to listen to the radio, you should tune into CBC Radio One today (and again on Saturday) at 11:30 AM to catch The Spark, which will feature a segment on ROFLCon!

If not, you should catch the episode anyway, because it’s online right here. Hooray for technology!

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.

ROFLPress, Major Bonus!

Hi kiddies. While we are sad that the extravaganza this past weekend has come and gone (tear), all is not lost – articles, blog posts, videos, and more are rolling in. We couldn’t be happier, because now we can relive the experience. Again, and again, and again.

The press page will be updated pretty continuously, so keep your eye on it! There are some really good analyses and discussions of what went on during the weekend.

And do let us know if we left something off! It’s hard to track these things down sometimes.

We Just got Dug

While not the same as being dugg, this seems far cooler somehow. The entire issue is jam-packed with meme related articles:

Wired Blog: “Behind the Memes”

Carrie Andersen — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:23:07 +0000

Guys. ROFLCon is goin’ down in like FOUR DAYS. Not only has that meant that our ROFLStaff lives have been crazy busy to make sure that this extravaganza goes off without a hitch and is as awesome for y’all as possible, it’s also meant that those fine folks who will be attending are ramping up their chatter about the event. Case in point: Wired.com’s Underwire blog. They’re doing a “Behind the Memes” feature “to prep for this week’s ROFLCon.”

First on the list is Dr. McNinja creator Chris Hastings. Check it!

And be sure to keep an eye on our press page before, during, and after the conference. It’ll get updated continuously with articles, blog entries, and whatever else we can cram onto it that’s vaguely relevant.

Hugs to those folks who have been supportive of us enough to write about us! We <3 you.

ROFLCon On NPR

Belated press notice: if you missed NPR’s Bryant Park Project coverage on April Fool’s Day morning, you missed out.

Yeah, that’s ROFLCon on live national radio. Talking about Rick Astley and goatse. Way awkies.

And by that I mean awesome – check it out!

Mozilla Partners Up With ROFLCon

Some may have noticed that the Firefox logo crept onto our sidebar… We’re so enthused: Mozilla has decided to sponsor ROFLCon!

I took a vow of silence, so I can’t divulge too many details, but be assured that they’ll be unleashing some sort of unholy mayhem when ROFLCon rolls around. I think it’s all part of their master plan for the upcoming release of the Firefox 3 browser.

ROFLCon on Internet Superstar

Check it out.

Hey kids, so me (Tim Hwang) and Diana Kimball (the sine qua non of transportation and guest hospitality for ROFLCon staff) recently got interviewed on Martin Sargent’s Revision3 show Internet Superstar, figured we’d shout it out and post it here.

Notes:

1) The ROFLCondoms, totally not a joke. Wait till you see the design.

2) Goatse, if you’re out there. E-mail us.

3) Turns out first generation iSights are REALLY blurry.
