The other two had to do with the question of bubbles and what we need to do to keep the Valley on top. Of course, Dave was able to take things in a completely different direction by arguing that the Valley has no soul...which brought on a hailstorm of discussion. I like to think that this will be the only panel this year that ends with Dan Gillmor eloquently calling out the Valley's leaders for their hypocrisy in supporting better education, yet not opposing the "bullshit" (Dan's words, not mine) of Intelligent Design.

I've personally seen Dave do this to a room. Chins meet clavicles as everyone in the room tries to parse a seemingly inappropriate Winer-ism until they see that the person he's aimed that barb at is smiling back at Dave and chuckling along with him. The man has no social brakes and he can be quite alarming but he does keep things interesting. And he does say exactly what is on his mind. Heh. I’ve personally seen Dave do this to a room.
