“We are now in the era in which brands must create new transformational technologies. Don’t think about how to exploit Facebook as a media venture or stick a TV ad on YouTube - think about new ways that serve your customers and your brand.”

Found these in the bottom of my stationery drawer. I'll figure out a use for them, but it won't be the originally intended one.

I've been promising to fix this fan properly for a long time; years, actually; it does work but it's very finicky.

After the devastating Fourth World War (2126 to 2148) in which over 1/3 of the world's population was killed, a great number of weapon companies were left bankrupt from overproduction. PAC, finding itself under aggressive WWAC (World Wide Alliance of Countries; basically the NEA and the rest of the world, after the WUR was forced to unconditional surrender) control was on the verge of calling bankruptcy, when QuanTech Ltd., a company producing quantum computers, asked for a merger.
A deal was eventually worked out in which PAC would become a subsidiary of the company, keeping most, if not all, of their profits, in return for letting QuanTech utilize PAC's superb scientists to complete a new supercomputer to be used by radar installations. By 2155, PAC had become the largest weapon producer in all of the North American Territories. In contrast, QuanTech was slowly sliding into a pit of debt brought on by the little need for new computers, while PAC was becoming more and more independent.
This time, PAC had to bale out QuanTech. They decided to merge into a new company, and on May 4th, 2156, they merged into Qbit Technologies, a company manufacturing both quantum computers (Qbit was a reference to the qubit, a unit, not unlike the bit in normal computers, used in quantum computing) and weapons.
The logo, pictured above, features part of a diagram of a qubit in the left, and a mathematical graph on the right.

JULY 13-15, 2015: ASPEN, COLORADO
Fortune Brainstorm TECH 2015
Presented in Association with Aspen Institute
“Technology-industry business conferences come and go. Fortune’s Brainstorm franchise, now in its 14th year, endures because of its unique blend of the power of Fortune 500 companies, the excitement of the emerging entrepreneurs of the tech world, and the connective tissue of the investors who finance them. It doesn’t hurt that Brainstorm Tech takes place on the gorgeous campus of the Aspen Institute in Colorado. It’s not the easiest place to get to, but Brainstorm Tech attendees tend to stick around, enjoy the tranquil surroundings, and have a helluva good time in Aspen while they’re at it.”
With three constituencies in mind—big-company CEOs, startups with juice, and financiers from every “asset class” from venture capitalist to private equity—this year’s participants include: Best Buy CEO Hubert Joly, President of the CVS pharmacy chain Helena Foulke, Flextronics CEO Mike McNamara, Apple’s top HR executive Denise Young Smith, Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri, and Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Disney’s animation studios. Also attending are financers including private-equity pioneer Henry Kravis of KKR, Egon Durban of Silver Lake, and Reid Hoffman of Greylock; Startup founders and CEOs including Katia Beauchamp of Birchbox, Clara Shih of Hearsay Social, Apoorva Mehta of Instacart, Katrina Lake of StitchFix, Ben Kaufman of Quirky, Brian Sharples of HomeAway and Ben Silbermann of Pinterest. Joining them in the lineup are Stewart Butterfield of Slack, brotherly leaders of Stripe John and Patrick Collison, and Evan Williams, CEO of Medium. We’ll also hear from music-industry stalwarts Scooter Braun of SB Projects and Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Label Group. Lastly, we’ll hear two special voices from government, ex-Google executive Megan Smith, now chief technology officer of the United States; and Rahm Emanuel, the recently re-elected mayor of Chicago, a global city whose tech scene is emergent

In five years, Web Summit has grown from 400 attendees to over 42,000 from more than 134 countries. It’s been called “the best technology conference on the planet”. But we just think it’s different. And that difference works for our attendees, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to the world’s most exciting startups.

Saw these old instruments on a shelf in a warehouse and I was struck by how far technology has come even in my lifetime.

A motley crew of humanists, technologists, librarians, archivists, programmers—and anyone with an interest in humanities and/or technology—gathered in Olin Library and the Danforth University Center (DUC) on Saturday, Nov. 9, for THATCampSTL, St. Louis's first-ever rendition of The Humanities and Technology Camp. Described as an "unconference," the open event draws its inspiration and general format from previous THATCamps aimed at attracting interested people with differing and overlapping perspectives and skill sets to a flexible, in-depth day of conversation, brainstorming, and networking. In contrast to more traditional academic conference models, THATCamps are comprised of short sessions proposed on the spot and decided on democratically among the participants.
"The idea of an 'unconference' was that sometimes when one goes to a conference, the best part of it turns out to be a serendipitous hallway conversation," says Douglas Knox, assistant director of the Humanities Digital Workshop on campus. "Could we bring people together to try to acknowledge the value of that serendipity? The best THATCamp sessions in my experience have been the ones where people have found a way to share something that they are passionate about, or have stretched themselves beyond their areas of greatest familiarity."
