At CFP Today

by Jim Harper on June 2, 2009 · Comments

I’ll be speaking on a panel titled “The Future of Security vs. Privacy” today at the Computers Freedom and Privacy conference. If you’re in Washington, D.C., come on by the Marvin Center at George Washington University and head up to the third floor. The conference continues through the week.

The organizers say C-SPAN will be recording parts of today, and it is supposed to be streamed live here. You Twitterers can follow the conversation by checking out the official hashtag: #cfp09. Be sure to say your piece, as well.

What Is This Drawing About?

by Jim Harper on October 8, 2008 · Comments

Arts+Labs, a new coalition “committed to a better, safer internet that works for both artists and consumers,” has written up Friday’s Cato Institute book forum on The Crime of Reason on their ArtLab blog. Author Robert B. Laughlin of Stanford University will present his book, then we’ll have comments from Tom Sydnor of the Progress and Freedom Foundation.

I’ve gotten a glimpse at the slides Dr. Laughlin will be using, and this Nobel laureate in physics also turns out to be something of an artist.

Join us Friday to learn what this drawing is all about.
