A little speech for The Public Domain Jam

A SPEECH FOR THE PD JAM

  • (a couple of paragraphs, nothing too big unless you want to)
  • why you're donating the prize money
  • your thoughts on public domain / creative commons, and the jam.
  • It'd be a great little speech to have up on the page, and it'd give some pull quotes for the blogs to use.

A richer public domain means more creativity. If you're a glass-half-empty person, then you might point out the inverse is truer today. And you'd be right. Our shrinking public domain is limiting humanity's true potential.

"Do and Show and Tell"

###Do & Show & Tell

Don't try to explain everything with something interactive. Use interactivity only when interactivity works best, otherwise, supplement it with text & images. Also keep in mind the overlaps of Do & Show & Tell: when text interacts with the diagrams (e.g. Tangle), and vice versa.

Text: Best at describing very abstract concepts.
Graphs: Best at showing broad relationships at a glance.
Animations: Best at showing temporal relationships.
Interactives: Best at showing processes, systems, models. (See final slide on Procedural Rhetoric)

DRAFT - Schelling's Segregation Solitaire Sexism Simulator

These are the adorable Polygon People.

They're 50% Triangles, 50% Squares, and 100% slightly biased against each other.

Emphasis on the word slightly. A Polygon would be happy with an even 50/50 split of neighbours of different types, but if less than 33% of their neighbours are like them, they will be unhappy, and want to move somewhere else.
