I delivered a keynote!
Still can't quite believe it. Hugely grateful to Bryant Patten of the National Center for Open Source in Education for the opportunity, and for having such faith in me.
I do hope the audience got something out of it.

Travelling halfway around the world to speak at a conference - always a great opportunity to learn something new.
Dr Thornburg talked about a microbial fuel cell - that uses manure and salt water to generate electricity. Nice.
Imagine combining this with the OLPC... or other low watt computing devices... such as mobile internet gadgets and smart phones...
Poo Powered Computing - The PooPuter! :)
