Back from PopTech and reading the reviews - here's a Wired Mag account of events. I met the author of the piece (Katie Dean) at the first day's lunch and was, of course, interested to see what she would say about the event. One of the great things about PopTech is that the small town venue requires you to mingle with the attendees. At the table next to us on that first day was the Governor of Main, Angus King. Impressive guy, who totally grasps the importance of technology and its importance in the education of children. Too bad he's term-limited from running again.
