Really? Battlestar Galatica and no Doctor Who?
Really, Star Wars twice and no Doctor Who?

You make it sound like starving people are getting fat too.
If they are becoming obese, the particular individual has a surplus of caloric intake, if only for this year or month. This is not to say that they have proper nutrition. So I am not at all clear that the fact that there is obesity in the third world is confounding evidence.
Martin,
The last time I had a professional video produced, I paid $5000 for a one-minute commercial, and those were rock-bottom prices from hungry people who wanted it for their own portfolio. I doubt I could get that today. $8000 for the entire conference is really volunteer work on Gary's part.
Someone's got to pay for it. One alternative would be to get a corporate sponsor and give them a keynote, which is what so many conferences do, but that would be abandoning our editorial independence. Having Gary fund his own operation through Kickstarter without burdening the conference is what we're doing. We're really lucky we could get that.

In Mexico, they have Quatro de Julio.
Yes, I remember the movie. I even remember the TV spinoff. And yes, you are that old.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
