ROFLCon: Web Workers at Play

ScreenshotWe’ve written before about surviving conferences. But all of that good advice may do you no good at all if you go to ROFLCon, scheduled for April 25 and 26 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They’re planning “a group dissection of internet culture,” fueled by bringing together the folks behind a bunch of internet memes with some academic presenters.

If you’re ever run across Bert is Evil, LOLcats, trading a paperclip for a house, the Tron Guy, Xkcd, Chuck Norris Facts, I Can Haz Cheezburger, or many more – then you know some of the featured attendees. While this may seem like a pure waste for time, it’s worth remembering that the well-regarded (and huge) SXSW Interactive was once small and in-groupish as well.
