Idea Conference 2006 took place only 3 days ago in Seattle and more frustrating than not being able to be present is not being able to hear Bruce Sterling’s closing remarks at the Seattle Public Library, on which he explores design as a weapon against the world’s current problems and calls the audience to immediate action.

The audio for his talk is available for download and I highly recommend taking 30 minutes off your daily routine to listening to what Bruce had to say. It won’t change your life but it might spark your imagination.
