Bring On Supercon!

In just under a week from today, almost 700 hackers will be getting together in Pasadena, CA for three days of scheming, soldering, and socializing. If you’re able to join …. If you’re able to join us, you absolutely should – there is no substitute for attending a hacker convention in person.

But even if you can’t make it to Supercon, you’re not shut out. We have an absolutely killer slate of talks, and we’ll be streaming at least one stage’s worth during the event. Watching a good talk isn’t just entertainment, but it can plant new seeds of possibility in your brain, or give you new perspectives on something that you thought you already knew.

It’s a funny part of our culture, that even though we all have the Internet where the printed word and the video reign supreme, many of our best ideas are still transmitted the old fashioned way: one person who has thought deeply about a topic gets up in front of a room and lets loose. Maybe it’s because presentations require so much preparation that they’re so powerful. I don’t know, but I do know that I’ve seen several Supercon (and other!) talks that have literally changed the way I see the world.
