Instead of going to yoga I got ice cream it has been that kind of day

we're live at Local Tech Ecologies today, organized by @ntnsndr and @medlab - we'll be talking about the lab, and we've brought some of our One Laptop Per Child XO-1 laptops as an interactive exploration of hyper-local networking (and of reclaiming technologies with Complicated History for humanistic purposes)
