Emerging Technology Conference

I'm saddened that I can't get away to attend at least part of Tim O'Reilly's Emerging Technology Conference. Looks like a lot of great conversations are going on there.

But I can read all about it at Ross Mayfield's Weblog. Next best thing to being there.

Thanks, Ross!

Dear Pierre,

How coincidental that you had to post this...

Yesterday afternoon I received an email regarding the same subject from a former UNLV professor, Julian Kilker.

He is there at the conference and was emailing me while sitting through a presentation.

In my reply, one of the things I told him was that I just stumbled upon your (this) blog a couple of days ago and I suggested him to contact you as a guest speaker for one of his multimedia design classes.

Since you live here in Henderson you could easily meet with him and chat about the conference and whatnot. He must be one of the very few who live in this valley who have a good grasp of the emerging technologies subject.

Here is his page: http://www.nevada.edu/~kilker/

Ciao,

Giorgio ( :^ )

Thanks for blogging Pierre. Good leadership.

Thank you! Unfortunately I had to head home today, so the coverage is elsewhere. Already having Etech withdrawls, you would really dig it.

ETech! Social networks! Blog this, FOAF that! Mobile urban international youth culture! User-centered flux capacitors! Emergent democratic empowerment of post-protean societies, YEAH!

Well, it's official! I created a site for blog sceptics called, surprisingly enough, The Blog Sceptic (blogsceptic.blogspot.com).

Anyone is welcome to email me ideas or particularly egregious examples of navel-gazing

There IS technology to clean up and prevent environmental degradation, you know.

AREM Enterprises and Sutton Energy provide both soil remediation units (to clean contaminated soil) and Solid Waste to Energy Plants (instead of landfills)!

Hello Pierre,

I would like to applaud you today, not because you have founded a big company, or because you are part of the board of some companies or because of your wealth, but because of what you have made to make so many people happy. I’m a computer programmer like yourself living in new york city, and i just imagine coding something that would make so many people happy, it must have been a great rush. I just want to tell you thank you for making yourself accessible to everyone, for reading this and for having this blog. It doesn’t matter how much money you can have in your bank account, but the simplicity of who you are and what you do. For that I applaud you, and I hope after you read this i have lifted your spirit a little bit today.

Thank you.

a.
