O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference (ETech): Living, Reinvented: The Technology of Abundance and Constraints :: March 9-12, 2008 :: San Jose, California :: Call for Participation: Deadline: September 17, 2008.

The abundant world has access to the Internet and other educational tools, to the latest advances in medicine, to culinary choices from around the globe, and up until recently, access to “plenty of” energy. This abundance can lead to waste since most everyday objects are easier and cheaper to replace than fix. But sometimes this excess can lead to creation—a reinvention of waste—as we see in the pages of Make magazine. Continue reading
