Interesting New York Speaker Update: Faris Yakob

Here’s another Interesting New York speaker I’m looking forward to, Faris Yakob, whose talk is entitled: Ideas are New Combinations: A history of recombinant culture, from Locke to Linux:  

“Everything is made up of mashed up other things: the philosophy of mash ups from John Locke, cut ups, remixing, jungle music, girl talk, and reality remixing.”

Bad hair day, Faris?

That’s worth the price of admission right there. And any guy with a Facebook avatar like this (on left), well you just know he’s going to be Interesting.
