Yesterday Friday 23 March there was an informal meetup for people interested in ethics, biobanking, and modern media in Seattle. It was by invitation.

Seattle InfoCamp was on October 8 and 9 and I went both days. I learned a lot and consumed new ideas. I love the format of this “unconference” – how it works is that they only schedule keynote speakers and everyone attends their talks, and then on the day of the event anyone who wants […]

Matt Mullenweg is the founding developer of WordPress and he still seems to be a frontman for whatever WordPress does. I was at an event he arranged on June 3. Matt looked like a typical America who, as Nandan would say, gave very little attention to his personal appearance other than hygiene. About 40 people […]
