CQ: The keyboard and mouse are truly ancient tools for getting information into a computer, but touchscreens, cameras and microphones aren’t really all that efficient (or sophisticated enough). So, what would be another way of communicating with your computer? Or are keyboard and mouse “enough”?

I’ll be taking my weird self to Balticon this week — and I can hardly wait! I’m going to record an episode of TWS before I go, so watch the feed/tune in on the radio at the normal time for a new episode.
If you are going to be at Balticon, by all means, say hello! I’ll be the one with the badge that says “ENCAF1″.
And if you come up to me and say, “I’ve got a weird story for you”, I’ll whip out my recordedr(time permitting) and we’ll talk. You’d probably actually have something to talk about at that point. You’ve heard the show, you know how far I wander. It can be a weird sighting, a Strange Encounter, an odd take on the world, a challenging perspective, most anything.
I’m looking to capture some audio for an episode coming up, and I’m even willing to bribe you for it: I’ll give you an official TWS sticker! There are only about 14 of these in existence, so you will be nearly unique.
CQ: If you could go to one and only one weird or geeky or brainy or creative conference, convention or gathering, anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? If it helps, consider that time travel is also an option..

TWS221: The 100% Proof Of Life Is Death
CQ: With the seemingly inevitable eBook revolution transforming where books ‘live’, what will become of the beautiful public space that once was the library? Will they disappear entirely, becoming a footnote like the fax machine? Transform into some other form of collective center? Or will they become museums?

TWS220: Return of The Thing That Never Was (Away)
CQ: How do we strike a balance between “open-minded” and “skeptic”, between “I know what I saw/experienced” and “I know only what I can prove”? How do we teach science without cynicism?
