CmdrTaco Speaking at MacHack in June

Apparently I'm Speaking at MacHack somewhere during the show- June 20-22. No clue what I'm speaking about yet. Never even been invited to speak at an Apple focused show, so it's certain to be interesting. It's in Dearborn, MI (near Detroit) if you feel the need to show up and flame me in person. I'm sure there will be time for Q&A about Slashdot stuff.

"It's a show about nothing." Nothing? "Nothing."

Only $525 to see a webmaster talk about nothing?

Whaddadeal!

I like to touch the buttocks of 12-year-old girls.

I can't believe this. A truly democratic forum? Look at this post- already modded up to 2, and it's just /. ass kissing. All the ones negative to CmdrTaco are 0 or -1. And they are right! What does Taco have to do with MacHack? Jack shit. I'll be there, and I'll be hacking instead of listening to Taco. Please.

Re:UNIX and public perception

This is CmdrTaco we're talking about! He's not going to be able to talk about that kind of stuff, he can barely form complete sentences.

CmdrTaco, if you are reading this, stick to talking about Japanese Anime. At least, the audience might think that English is your second language.

Just kidding. I grew up in MI with Michigan grammar, too. Seriously, CmdrTaco, you should discuss the sense of community in the Apple world and the sense of community in the Linux world.

Don't talk about Linux changing Unix and Apple changing Unix. I consider you an expert in neither of these, and it is doubtful that audience would be interested, anyways. You are, on the other hand, an expert in the Linux/Nerd community. Talk about merging the Linux/Nerds with the Apple/nerd community. Tell those Apple hackers that *shareware* is annoying and limits their project's potential. Give them faith that large masses can accomplish major pieces of software, that individual hackers can't. Tell funny stories of things that happened on Slashdot. Talk about the wildly (soon to be wildly?) successful apple.slashdot.org. Ask Pudge for ideas. He seems to be a Mac d00d.

I wish I was going to be in MI that weekend. I would have loved to see the show and hear your speech. Good luck. Have somebody doublecheck the grammar of your speech!
