 Send to email | "The Deal" Loses One: "Convergence" Conference Spiked in General |  By Silicon

 Psyched to attend "The Deal"'s annual "Convergence 2.0" conference this June? We have bad news for you: It's been cancelled.
The New York conference, sponsored by Bruce Wasserstein's trade pub, was supposed to give attendees the chance to bump elbows for a day with a who's who of digital entrepreneurs, financiers, M&A guys, etc -- all for the low, low price of $1,195.
One of the worthies scheduled to appear on one of the conference's panels tells us he was told this week that the event had been scrapped; no explanation was offered. The link to the event, which we received in a promotional email 11 days ago, no longer works. Perhaps the fact that said email offered us a $400 discount should have tipped us off.
What happened? Kudos to The Deal employee who was bracingly honest when we called to ask: "We couldn't fill any sponsorships for it. And the attendance was very low," says employee X, who we'll keep anonymous for obvious reasons. "Right now the word for it is that it's been postponed. If that's a fancy word for cancelled, I don't know."

| Transport Dept loses millions on shared services deal | | Ich nichten lichten
Shared services - where several government departments share resources in order to save money - might seem like an easy way to reduce costs within the government.

| Yahoo decides to revisit its 10-year-old calendar |  We think there might be one or two people out there still using various Yahoo services as opposed to jumping on the Google train.

| 1930 Masonic prank catalog |  These are full-page scans from the 1930 DeMoulin Bros. & Co. Fraternal Supply Catalog, which illustrates tons of pranks to use on new recruits. Most are fantastically elaborate and would never work in today’s society. I think my favorite is the Electric Spiked Pathway or maybe the Moral Athletics.
