This post will change. It is not visible from the front page. The post body is where I’ll collect links, screen caps, and the like. It is not a place where I will write a post. We’ll use this as a forum.

Attending the speech along with a camcorder, a New Orleans citizen asks Senator John McCain if he will debate in New Orleans.
Derek BridgesArchitectural components of the demolition of New Orleans public institutions gather together to bid farwell.
Karen GadboisThe City of New Orleans is investigating allegations that Anthony Jones, the interim director of the Office of Technology.
Richard A. WebsterPublic school money is used to finance a party at Bacco.
Ray SheaWas Mayor Nagin's utterance about office occupancy in the state of the city address just another crane on the skyline?
MominemThe Netroots Nation '08 panel on New Orleans is taking shape now and I need your help.
The Army Corps of Engineers explains paper mache levees as "epdient", a temoporary measure that's lasted two years.
The latest PDF with the theater, please change up the heading. The theater is not a section of the blog, a blog page, nor is it me prattling into my iSight.
No tabs. I’m going to restyle the New Orleans Wiki so that it is a tab. You’re implying an integration that doesn’t and is not supposed to exist.
Here is a FAIL of a theater. Creative Commons Videos. Spewing one after another in a blog channel layout. Permalinks are bookmarks (#) into the page, so I’m not confident that if I send the permalink, the person will know which video they’re supposed to watch. It’s awful.
Each video has to have a permalink. The permalink links to the video in a page of it’s own. In any of the presentations, using Majora Carter: Greening the ghetto as an example, there is a player and a place for comments.
YouTube is, of course, a highly usable theater, as is Viddler. But, TED is a much better example since it puts the videos in the context of TED. I want us to put the videos in the context of unconferences.
Regarding the initial design Unconference Theater.
# Do not use the same fluer that is used at Blogometer.
# Get rid of the Think New Orleans Hello Kitty blue text.
# It is not NORA Unconferences. It is Think New Orleans Unconference.
I’m somehow not conveying how dearly I want to destroy the Think New Orleans brand, deprecate, desecrate it, in favor of honoring and celebrating the City of New Orleans and the Great State of Louisiana.
The scrolly control at the bottom, that would scroll the vidoes is good. I’ll try to find some way to implement that, maybe not with a special scroll bar, but a default scroll bar. Nice control. Good design.
Where is the video for the current page?
Finally, for the header, we can have different, rotating headers. Entirely different. That is, we can Think New Orleans Unconference in a number of different locations on top of background photographs. We can have the state capitol as one, Gallier Hall as another, maybe a statue of some universally beloved civic leader (if there is one) or maybe a photograph of D.C. Actually, rotating between the three would be cool.
So, some typographic handling of Think New Orleans Unconference would be nice.
Remember, this is an application. The theater is a very important application that captures a lot of work on my part and the part of my dearest friends and partners. It can expand with new films from new unconferences.
The most beautiful blog, ever

I’ve seen Camron Moll’s blog before. At NetSquared, I encountered David Kadavy. His design is very user interface oriented.
This is the direction that you and I need to take, so that we can create projects that are going to be revenue generators. We need to build user interfaces.
I’ve yet to implement the Theater for the Unconferences. That is my next task on the usability trail. It looks amazing. It is just what I need.
