MIT Smarties!

Well I spent the last 3 days up in Boston at MIT. And ... well lets be honest, I feel smarter for just being there! LOL. It was a GREAT conference full of fantastic ideas and innovations on the web, in technology and in biomedics. Apart from the very "cool factor" of meeting some awesome innovators including:
Kevin Rose - Digg.com
Sky Dayton - Helio
Ivan Krstic - OLPC ($100 laptops for 3rd world children)
Tariq Krim - Netvibes

and many more coool innovators. The guy that created Google Earth ... and so many more. The smartest and most innovative minds in the world. Anyway it was so inspiring, informative and encouraging.

A great highlight was the entire pre-conference devoted to Women in Technology and the impact over the years and focus on how to continue to encourage young girls and women to enter the science and technology field. A innovative and wonderful conference put on, EmTech 2007, by Technology Review in conjunction with MIT. Check it out for yourself if your a technophyle like me!
