For what it's worth, Squidoo is about to release a feature which makes it very easy to create the kind of lens that Brad links to at the top of the post. So far I've made lenses like this on three conferences by hand:
They each took 3+ hours, but with the new module it should be quick and easy. The conference organizers love these things, so once the new module launches if there are any conferences you want to go to then let me know and I'll try to get you in for free if you agree to make one for them. I think we'll run it like wikinews where you have to make one or two good quality ones and then we'll give you a press pass. (I still need to run this by the Squidoo staff again, so no promises, but I'll try.)
Of course you won't be able to submit them to the HN queue because Squidoo lenses are still banned, but such is life.
