In February I&#8217;ll be presenting at the <a href=\"http:\/\/tei-conf.org\/index.html\">Tangible and Embedded Interaction conference <\/a>in Cambridge, UK. Looks like there&#8217;s a good lineup of other presenters there too, including Ayah Bdeir, Leah Buechley, Durrell Bishop, Timo Arnall, and Einar Martinussen, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Following TEI is a trip to Shenzen, China, hosted by Bunnie Huang of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chumby.com\/\">Chumby<\/a>. He&#8217;s bringing a few of us who are working on open hardware\/open fabrication projects to see the factories and markets they work with there.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m eager to get a sense of what it&#8217;s actually like there.<\/p>\n<p>After Shenzen I&#8217;m going to Japan for a symposium on ubiquitous content and smart cities and environment, hosted by Keio University&#8217;s new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kmd.keio.ac.jp\/en\/index.html\">Graduate School of Media Design<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Following Tokyo is San Jose, CA, for O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/content\/home\">Emerging Technology conference<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been going to Etech for several years, and I always have a great time there. This year I&#8217;m really excited, they&#8217;ve gathered a great group.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m doing a hands-on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/schedule\/detail\/5455\">RFID workshop<\/a>, as well as a talk called <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/schedule\/detail\/5453\">Open Fabrication and the Environment, or Taking Spime Apart<\/a>. There&#8217;s a ton of other great talks at Etech this year, from folks like the aforementioned <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/schedule\/detail\/7069\">Leah Buechley<\/a> (we seem to be following each other around the world), Jennifer Magnolfi of Herman Miller on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/schedule\/detail\/7764\">Programmable Work Environments<\/a>, Raffi Krikorian on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/schedule\/detail\/7032\">Wattzon<\/a>, Drew Endy on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.oreilly.com\/et2009\/public\/schedule\/detail\/5597\">open source biology<\/a>, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n<p>After that, home for a bit, I hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been collecting notes and ideas on open source hardware (and open fabrication in general) and sustainable technology development for awhile now, and over the&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/category\/misc\/262\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">What&#8217;s next: TEI, Shenzen, Tokyo, Etech<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[41],"class_list":["post-262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc","tag-sabbatical","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":265,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262\/revisions\/265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tigoe.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
