Kelty and I are going to the Singularity Summit in San Jose next weekend.  I'm so excited to go!  I feel like I will be among giants, just kind of observing and learning from their ways of thinking.  Who knows, maybe we'll start a new DNA club, or talk about the next steps to combining biological and robotic components.  Or maybe we'll stick to the basics and try to estimate when artificial intelligence will be strong enough to convince most human beings that it is sentient.  Fun times!
