…from March 2007; thanks Semiot!

I first saw ‘Chairman Bruce‘ speak in San Diego at ETech 2006, though I’d followed his writing since I was a teenager. I’m always kinda confused when I hear his talks; Sterling can alternately poke fun at his own ideas, embarrass the audience that they’re buying into his ‘mental loops and excursions‘  and yet still leave you filled with a sense of wonder and a desire to explore notions such as spimes and blogjects more fully.

I couldn’t even tell you what this talk was about – only that I now feel compelled to re-read Shaping Things and start, um, Shaping Things 🙂
