So no Shit, There I Was

Sitting at a CIO Conference in Auckland today. The speaker at the time was the CIO of the NZ Government. As he's flipping through his slides discussing where technology is heading, guess what appears on the screen....a map of Black Rock City. The commentary went something like this....

"There's an event every year in America called Burning Man. It's in California or Nevada or somewhere..."
"Nevada desert"
"Nevada desert? Great. Anyway, all these people go out and live in tent city for a week and do geek stuff and blog and the like. Now Flickr has created a way for people to tag their photos and videos and it maps the city so you can see the experience."
Wow, that's the first time I've heard BM refered to in technological terms. You really have NO idea what goes on out there do you?
"I haven't been, you (pointing to moi) could probably explain more about it, but isn't this neat that you can virtually experience it?"
Oh I could explain more about it, but I won't.

I was cracking up and thought y'all could appreciate the randomness of the situation.

This moment of amusement was brought to you by the letter C and the number 7.
