Singularity U

So I'm at the airport heading to San Jose, where I will appear tonight as a speaker at Singularity University at NASA Ames (Moffett Field) in California. I'll be participating in a panel discussion with Pat Murphy (in person) and David Brin, Greg Benford, and Greg Bear (via video conference), talking about the feedback loop between science and science fiction. Whee!

This all came together in the last couple of days when one of the scheduled speakers had to back out at the last minute. It's a quick one-day visit crammed in between the SFWA reading in Portland and the SFWA reading in Seattle, and it's really quite insane for me to be doing this, but Singularity U is paying for it and it's such an honor to be invited that I couldn't say no.

I will be heading home tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday 7/18), but there is a possibility I might be able to do lunch tomorrow with some Bay Area friends. Drop me an email if you'd like to get involved.

Again, whee!
