Here is the list of speakers for Ignite Seattle 11 (in no particular order):
Todd Bishop Geek Guide to Seattle
Andrew Hyde I own 15 things: The Art of Minimalism and Travel
Recently I gave away or sold almost 1000 items I owned. I now just own 15 and am embarking on a yearlong vagabond around the world. Homeless, unemployed and without any direct purpose or plan; I’m either the most alive or the most alone I’ve ever been. This Spark will be about the unintended consequences of these actions.
Michelle Bates , Toying with Creativity – the Joys of Plastic Cameras
The world of photography has become a race for the newest and most advanced cameras. Spin the wheels of technology backwards with Michelle Bates as she introduces you to the wonders of image-making with simple plastic cameras that use film and have no adjustments. See world-class photographers using Holgas and other toy cameras for fine-art, photojournalism, portraiture, fashion, commercial and editorial photography. Learn how going low-tech can open up a whole new world for your creativity!
Jenny Ingram How To Be An Internet Movie Phenom Without Taking Your Clothes Off!
Vlogging is all the rage. But let’s face it… YouTube has far, FAR more crappy vlogs than awesome ones. What does it take to go from “crap” to “awesome”? I have some ideas, and not one of them includes taking off your clothes for the camera.
Roy Leban Anatomy of a Crossword
In this talk, I’ll discuss lessons learned from solving and constructing crosswords and other kinds of puzzles, reasons why everybody should solve puzzles, and how creating puzzles can you make you a better solver (and maybe a better person).
Roberto Hoyos King of Geeky Pillows:
How I turned a one-time sewing hobby into a global business. Once upon a time, I was selling products for Apple. Today, I’m selling my own product and my own idea.
Myra Stephens Citing your sources: Controlling Hazardous Substances in Consumer Goods
That hoodie you’re wearing? It might surprise you to know that potentially every part of it – zipper, thread, fabric, etc – came from a different source. In a free market economy, corners are frequently cut in order to keep high profit margins, which can result in cheap goods containing potentially hazardous substances. Through elementary sketches, let me help you become an enlightened consumer.
Jenny Lam – What Not to Wear: the typography edition
Frank Catalano How Science Is Destroying My Childhood
I love science: As a kid, I marveled at planets such as Pluto, wanted to see a real dinosaur, and enjoyed mysterious sea creatures. My love of science spawned a career including stints as a science and tech reporter, science-fiction writer and, lately, tech industry consultant. But science is slowly erasing my childhood, and Pluto was just the start. It appears no planet — or creature — is safe.
