In the traditional manner Interesting2008 is starting to leak out all over the internet. I love this bit. The Imagination folks shot everything and made a 'best of' edit which The Guardian are supposed to be putting up, er, sometime. I've not seen it, and I'm not sure when it's going up, but as soon as I know I'll tell you. And, since they shot the whole day, I'm hoping that they'll also make films of each individual speaker. And I'll put them up here. But, if they've not got the resources to do that I'll get the footage off them and do it myself. (Unless someone fancies helping out?). What I'm saying is; the full video stuff won't be quick. Sorry about that.
However, there's lots to content yourselves with in the meantime.
Roo's put his presentation on slideshare, with audio, and created a slideshare group for us. He's also written a fantastic summarising post.
Steve's written a post about his presentation, and also put it on slideshare.
Michael's written his presentation up on his blog already, and I'm sure I've seen bits of it on vimeo or some such, though I can't find it right now.
James promises here that he'll soon be writing up his work on the geophysics of World Of Warcraft, but in the meantime writes some thoughtful and kind words on the playfulness of Interesting.
Tom's stuck the recorder incident on Vimeo. What a work of genius. Though I suspect you had to be there to get the full value.
Simon's put the audio of their performance with Ken on his blog.
James has put In Vino, Civitas on his blog.
Gavin's put a link to more thoughts on Acoustic Cosmology on his blog. And there's some of his music here, which is rather lovely.
I'm sure more people will write about more of their stuff in due course, and I'll try let you know when they do. But you can also browse through, or contribute to, the pictures in the flickr pool.
Here's the music we attempted to play during the Recorder Incident:

This is going to come across all nicey-nicey, but as someone who hates the fact he can't attend 'Interesting', I do love how I can feel part of it thanks to all the community involvement interms of pictures/videos/preso links.
I recently sat through a preso by a rather well known research company that said the collaborative element of Web 2.0 was dead, well this proves they were talking out their arse.
Well done to everyone [especially you Russell, whether you like it or not] and next year I'll bloody come if it kills me.
Well, maybe that's a bit too drastic but you get the idea.

Just want to thank you for using my photo, but most of all for putting on such a fantastic day.
It was like the very, very best day on Radio 4 (and listening to Midweek this morning also made me smile - such a similar format).
Looking forward to seeing everyone's output...

"... who said the collaborative element of Web 2.0 was dead..."
You're right. That's nonsense. The collaborative element is the whole point.
