That was indeed an amazing weekend, and I enjoyed meeting you very much.

I must add that my session title you liked “Five Minute Talks by Smart People ..” was a brilliant suggestion by Linda Stone to replace my much less exciting description of “Lightning Talks” which would have been worse even if the program didn’t typo it up into “Lighting Talks”…

Thaths,

I wish I had seen more of George Dyson – although I did sit in on one session to which he contributed (Martin Rees and Nick Bostrom’s session on Life in the Universe). But I would’ve liked to have seen more of him.

Too many choices!

Next time don’t miss out on the whatever talk George Dyson is giving. They are consistently amazing whether he is talking about the A-Bomb or the pioneers of rocketry or computing or genetics.
