Fortune iMeme Conference & Richard Dawkins
I was fortunate enough to attend the 1st annual, Fortune iMeme conference. Apart from hearing and talking to a who's who list of intellectuals and technology influencers, the audience also got to see products from promising startups like Spigit and Adaptive Blue. I will write more about some of the specific, thought provoking panels shortly.
But for me, the most exciting thing about the conference was seeing one of my favorite authors, Richard Dawkins, in person. I saw him, and even had a good chat over lunch which was a lot of fun. This brings me to the point of this post. Richard Dawkins will be in Menlo Park tomorrow at the Kepler's Bookstore (can amazon.com do that, I ask you?) at 3:00pm. More details for the event are here. I highly recommend this event to my readers. They may find a surprise if they attend.
The George Carlin videos on Richard Dawkins.net are hilarious

Wow, that's awesome. What a shame that I missed it. I'm also a huge Dawkins fan.

God said that Richard Dawkins goes to Heaven, Leona Helmsley goes to Hell and Jerry Falwell just disappears.
What that means is that you don't have to believe in Jesus or God to go to Heaven. On the other hand just believing in God does not necessarily get you into Heaven.
Good atheist' go to Heaven. Bad christians can go to Hell. Melanie Steffen
