Esther Dyson’s keynote speech is being done in the format of an interview with Andrew Blau. Having seen her speak once before, I think this format led to more disjointed thought and less big picture, but I’m guessing this was done because Esther just fishished running her own conference, PC Forum.
And, also, she was in Sunnyvale just yesterday at Yahoo! to discuss Yahoo! 360 and Flickr. So, she was probably experiencing the ill effects of jet lag. I did get to speak with her afterwards about Flickr and Yahoo! 360, though. It’s pretty fascinating.
