I’m finally catching my breath after doing nothing but blog at io9 for about 5 weeks straight. In between posting, I also managed to organize a conference for Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility called Technology in Wartime. It was held at Stanford (thanks to the Center for Internet and Society!) on January 26, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. We had a full audience, despite the early start hour on a Saturday, and the speakers — including luminaries Bruce Schneier, Cindy Cohn, Ronald Arkin, Herb Lin, Kevin Poulsen, Barbara Simons, Patrick Ball, Noah Shachtman, and Nick Mathewson — were terrific.

Thanks to videographer Mark Burdett, the proceedings are now archived in video form on Archive.org. You can see a complete list of panels/speakers, with links to video, here. Thanks to everybody who came out, and to the board of CPSR for helping make this such a great conference on a timely topic.
