Bre and I would like to thank the following people for their help before, during and after Ignite 3.

Thanks to:

Matt May - He left the event to get us a projector; we would have been screwed without him.
Allegra Searle-LeBel - She ran a camera helped with video setup
Ryan Stewart - He was the live twitterer.
Paolo Tosolini - He ran a third video camera and edited the awesome behind the scenes video. Connie Savoie - She braved the onslaught of paper airplanes to hold up the hula-hoop.

Special thanks to:
Bryan Zug - He is the lead cameraman, a/v guy, and editor of the ignite videos.
Jesse Robbins - He is the speaker and presentation wrangler
Gabriel Williams - He made an admin form that none of you saw, but saved me a ton of time.

And thanks to everyone who came and has been supporting us.

We have a logo! We’ve been working on it for a while and we’re pretty happy with the results.

If you’re in SF this Sunday come by for the first Ignite Expo!. You can see the schedule on the Web 2.0 Expo blog.

Candace McNaughton, ND wrote in to provide the hacks from her great talk, Health Hacks- Natural Medicine Quick Fixes, in a list form. Enjoy!

Following are the eight health hacks presented at the third Ignite Seattle. Keep in mind that these are meant to be examples of some quick-acting natural approaches rather than representative of naturopathic treatment. Treatment plans are always more holistic and complex.

Overeating- Hoodia gordonii, 250-500 mg twenty minutes before a meal. Eat less that meal
Afternoon slumps - 15-20 grams protein in the morning balances blood sugar
Migraine - 150-200 mg Butterbur can avert migraine in process.
Diabetes - Gymnema and other plants balance blood sugar. Gymnema on tongue blocks sweet receptors.
Fatigue - B12/BComplex intramuscular injections. Feel energy boost right away.
Traveler’s Diarrhea - Probiotics like lactobacillis acidophilus can prevent or stop this condition.
Smoking Cessation - Lobelia fills nicotine receptors, calms anxiety, and is a muscle relaxant.
Anxiety - California poppy, hops, oats, valerian, skullcap, passionflower all calm mental & physical symptoms.

Please contact me with questions or for further information.

Want to know what it’s like behind the scenes at Ignite? Paolo Tosolini filmed this great video that documents it.

Did you see yourself in it? Thanks Paolo! Paolo also writes a nifty blog on Italy and the new media called Italy From The Inside.

The talk videos will be up in the next couple of week.

Brian McConnell, one of our Ignite 3 speakers, wrote in to tell us that the subject of his talk is ready to be used! From Brian:

The Worldwide Lexicon, an open source translation project, made its first appearance at Ignite. WWL enables websites to translate their content to any language, by recruiting bilingual users from their audience to contribute translations via a wiki. WWL is inviting more websites to join its test. Visit www.worldwidelexicon.org for more information.

Joining the network is as simple as posting your site’s full text RSS feed address. WWL polls your RSS feed for new texts, and then creates wiki pages for translations to any number of languages. You can either let WWL host the translations, or if you want to be fancy about it, loop RSS back from the WWL system to your site.

I think this picture accurately shows the excitement from last night. Here are some stats:

• 750 paper airplanes thrown
• 29 made it through the hoop
• 16 talks were given showing 320 slides
• 36 tweets to 44 friends
• 2 Sponsors (Lockergnome & Axios Law)
• 351 attendees
• >3 kegs
• >4 video cameras
• Countless volunteers (thanks!)
