Scenes From a ‘Weird’ Tech Fest:

“…(W)ith speakers like famed British physicist Freeman Dyson, singing robotic birds, techno DJs, a bring-and-buy market of ancient computer parts, Moroccan tea with free baklava and curries served by an Indian couple, London’s Extreme Computing weekend seemed more Woodstock for the geek generation.

Billed as the “Festival of Inappropriate Technologies,” the one-day extravaganza packed several hundred attendees into Camden Town Hall in the center of the city. Instead of name badges, people wrote the domain name of their e-mail address on the badge and were supposed to try and guess names.” Wired
