I remember when "the information
revolution is all about taking the stuff out of something" started
smelling like a good idea to me. Dear reader, it's hard to make
something with less substance than the puff of energy we used to share
this picture.
I heard somebody say
that the concept for this big thing was that it was growing plant
biomass, converting it to biofuel, and using that to move across the
playa. It sounded like a great concept, but I never saw it move. There
were lots of smart looking people hovering around the thing working on
it.
