    Glad you didn’t have to have a Tues. show. We had company and I couldn’t get away for the show.

    I’ll be in the chatroom tonight, eager to hear from our guest.

    I did get to hear most of the H+ summit. It was great!

    This was a very enjoyable session. G.D. answered several lingering questions about the Summit, and provoked a ton of comments in the chat. The chatroom itself was full of varied viewpoints and personalities. And of course, there was room to tell corny jokes.

    Near a 9 or 10, on the current podscale.

    Just heard Wolfram’s podcast, from the Summit. Damn, that was great.

    I can’t believe Stephen apologized, near the end, for possibly being too abstract.

    Ha! No doubt, most of the listeners were totally absorbed in the talk.

    I also enjoyed this podcast. One of the frustrations of the summit was that many of the speakers couldn’t go in depth in their talks or comment upon what others had said due to time constraints. You could probably fill 6 months of podcasts just interviewing some of these people individually and giving them time to expand on their talks.

    Have there been any presentation videos uploaded from the H+ Summit yet? … I would love to go through them.

    Seth Lloyd has a lot of energy, too-much-caffeine type energy. Unfortunately, there’s wasn’t enough time to allow him to channel it. The audience must have felt cheated, after he touched on time travel paradoxes, but couldn’t elaborate or answer questions about it.
