Met David S. Isenberg - Joi Ito's Web

(picture by Carver Mead's Foveon Camera)

Thanks to Gen Kanai for introducing me to David Isenberg. David is famous for many things including his paper "The Rise of the Stupid Network" David was talking a lot about Oil. He says that "Hubbert's Peak", when oil production will begin to drop, will happen in 2003. On the other hand, world energy consumption will increase 66% (USA Today, 1/10/02) from 1999-2020.

I was so excited while talking to him that I forgot to take a picture. I had to steal the picture from his web page.
