Favoriting January 28, 2013: Radio Free Culture #9: Radiovision Keynote: Patron Saint of DIY Culture Mark Frauenfelder

WFMU's Radiovision Festival reminds us again of the many ways old fashioned radio is still powerful, connected, and intertwined with the dreams and revolutionary power of the Internet. The festival brings together innovators who are doing things right now in radio, on the internet, and sometimes both.

This year's keynote speaker was one of those innovators, Mark Frauenfelder. He is the founding editor of MAKE Magazine, the founder of Boing Boing, editor at Wired Magazine from 1993-1998, and the founding editor of Wired.com. He is the author of "Made by Hand: My Adventures in the Land of DIY." He also hosts Boing Boing's podcast called Gweek. After his keynote, WFMU's own DJ Trouble joins him on stage for a brief Q&A.

My favorite "Luxembourgian American inventor"!
Thanks for the link, he seems quite a prolific publisher on technical devices.

You win, Jerame! I'll say your name on the radio at the end of the show. Thank you all for baring with us... I know the audio was super painful before the switch.

I bolted a PID controller on my budget Rancilio Silvia espresso machine a few years ago - it made all the difference when it came to being able to pull a decent ristretto at all reliably.

And now - La Marzocco and others offer PID-controlled fancy commercial machines.

It's a beautiful world.

That's something - they used to BILL you by the hour w/ dongles!

this is so very interesting !
it's super frustrating that it is midnight and a half over here !
Avatar 6:31pm
Andrea:

@LIL eddie: We're still churning through the archives from Radiovision 2012. As of now, we only have the audio. I'll post it here if we ever have a fancy video.

@Matt: The problem with doing video for the WFMU YouTube channel is that after editing and exporting, we're lucky to break 45 views. www.youtube.com...

"You don't own a pie unless you make it." Agree or disagree?

Maybe you can work the YouTube channel into FMU's new social thingy...

Matt from Springfield:

I see what you mean about the work involved to process something--but I meant about YT that those searching for other tags might find this presentation, and learn more about Radiovision, and WFMU, etc. But good point on input vs. what you'll get out of it.

As a techie i meet so many frustrated people that get stuck half way and ask for help.. I'm never sure what to tell them.

Andrea:

@Alicia: At Radiovision his lesson about making mistakes is something that people talked about all day. It was neat to listen back to that moment. He even gives us permission to *abandon* projects, which is something I am constantly beating myself up about.

Pete from Boston (and NJ):

I have long held that my two most reliable muses are limit and error. I can't wait to see what my next mistake is or what I learn from it. You're going to make mistakes anyway, so why not own them for what they are worth?

Great show, thanks for getting this out Andrea!
Will there be live coverage of the next Radiovision?

Alicia Renee:

thanks andrea!

Andrea:

I guess it will depend on the venue...but a live broadcast is a great idea. Or video stream perhaps? We are looking into some very interesting keynote speakers too right now though!
