Off to #Interesting2026 in Holborn

Ridiculously, I have never been to an Interesting! Looking forward to meeting some others from the nascent Society for Hopeful Technologists, and other long-time friends and connections.

The first half was great! Talks on sea monkeys; life in care; Brecht; punk clothing / book titles; and growing flowers from seeds. #Interesting2026
Also. Badge acquired! #HopefulTechnologist

@andypiper interesting.
@jtonline it has been an interesting day. And I’ve been part of the initial discussions helping to charter the Society for a while… watch that space for more.
@andypiper I'm curious how that logo was made. By a designer or by AI? It must surely be a designer right? If you stand for: "a more sustainable, regenerative economy;". It just feels so AI-like to be (inconsistencies and glitches in linework). Hope I'm wrong though. Feels a bit like light version of solarpunk.
@andypiper Thanks I am interested!
@andypiper ooo this sounds like a great thing!
@andypiper that looks brilliant! I keep meaning to sign up so I'll do that now. I know Rachel from some nonprofit sector events I think
@andypiper wish I'd seen this earlier - didn't know you were there!
@dalelane it was pleasingly crowded and I know I missed several folks! 🤦 EMF?
@andypiper sadly not - my ticket buying skills weren't fast enough!
