Future of Artificial Intelligence
Day 2 of Blogher. I'm sitting at the keynote breakfast with Esther Dyson, Rashmi Sinha, and Annalee Newitz. What a great panel!

Blogher 2007 - Welcome!
We are at the 2007 Blogher conference in Chicago this weekend. For those of you that don't know, Blogher is the largest women's blogging network and, as I learned this morning from the conference organizers, the Blogher conference is the largest blogger conference in the world.

The initiative selected this year was... Global Health. 57% of voters voted for this. Other initiatives that were important were the environment, Iraq, and global hunger. My mood: very impr… [more]
