This is always one of my favorite events and the mix of people was great -- from all different areas of tech. Half had been to a Foo in the last 7 years, so they knew the process, making it easier and helping to integrate others who were there. I'm involved enough with biofeedback based interfaces, that I spent time with folks on that and got caught up on what's happening with that in the gaming space ---> two interesting developments: a game where the player kills ghosts using theta waves; and a military project, Neurosky, where players train fro resilience, killing, etc. while managing breath, etc. This technology is also used for working with people with PTSD when they return after combat. I'm convinced that the next significant and serious interface advances will be biofeedback based. More convinced now, since the military and the games space often leads the way.

Separately, signed up for everything -- everything that would get her in front of people in this crowd. She did a short presentation one evening and, after it, I turned to the person next to me: "What did you think of that?" The person next to me said, "Couldn't get past her affect..." and then imitated the flirty body moves V. had used.... I didn't see V. much -- she seems to prefer the company of men and I knew well over 100 people at Foo and was just trying to get to folks I knew, meet the people they wanted me to meet.

This is an inspired way to do an event, though -- especially if the mix of people is thoughtful. People are encouraged to put their farthest out ideas on the table, not to do only canned presentations, to "think" with other smart folks.

Oh -- and I heard Vicki Gray has made good progress with her annual conference. Now, Naomi Judd and many others from the Academy and beyond are going and Charles and Nathan seem to fund frequently... Someone mentioned to me that Vicki refers to me as the "devil incarnate." Not sure how I deserve such a special, diabolical label from Ms. Gray, but there it is. And -- someone else told me to do a search on Loan2Learn and the Reynolds, which I did. Looks like they've had a few very tough years (called on the carpet by the press for various practices, etc.).

how are you?

I'm heading to a yoga retreat later this week (yes, I will remember what you showed me), then to Amsterdam to give a talk (still writing it).
