Rant from February 23rd, 2010. Recorded after walking the Thomas building and attending an MPAC session where I stated they were doomed.

Nice rant Derek. Prescient in many ways, not least of which was MPAC’s doom. Prior to their demise I advised them to embrace Phoenix’s differences (many of which you mentioned), especially the geographical diffusion of talent (citing open source projects as successful examples). Phoenix, the open source city. Just a thought. P.S. I owe Gangplank $20 for missing the recent charity poker tourney.
