Abacus World Expo continues! Sunday night is Abacus Jam Nite, BYOA (Bring Your Own Abacus), Strum a tune and sing along at the campfire! You can join in the Jamboree anytime you like. I'll be there around 10:00 PM EST, with my CowGirl boots on! (irc.slashnet.org #aftery2k)
Abacus World Expo t-shirts are sold out! The demand has been phenomenal, so I'm printing another small run and they'll be shipping in about two weeks Please preorder now to reserve yours.
If you've ordered a t-shirt, please be patient... I am signing and packing them as fast as possible, but have been swamped with orders! Also, because it's Thanksgiving here in Canada, Canada Post is closed until Tuesday, so shipping will resume then.

Richard Stallman's Abacus World Expo keynote was a lot of fun, and was very well attended! Thanks RMS, LOL 2 U ;)!
BeDope editor, Mike Popovic, gave an amazing Be Abacus chat, including slides, as part of Abacus World Expo! The geeks were impressed!
The first speaker to kick off Abacus World Expo was Roblimo, of Slashdot! What a great time we had! Thanks Roblimo!
After Y2K is a frightfully funny look at what might happen if the Millennium Bug bites hard! Created by Nitrozac, it follows the hapless exploits of a perhaps-slightly-over-paranoid geek as he and his friends seek to come to terms with the legacy of careless coding. The setting: the days and months after January 1st, 2000... all computers, high technology, and most electricity is gone... civilization as Geeks know it has collapsed!
