I just realised that Nicholas Carr will be one of the keynote speakers
at the World Computer Congress 2010, in Brisbane next month. He is
talking on "Bringing the Cloud Down to Earth":

I am one of the (lesser) industry speakers at the same event a few days
later in the "Sustain IT" stream, talking on "Teaching Sustainable ICT
Competencies with Tablet Computers: My first year's experience setting
the global standard for green ICT professional education":
<http://www.wcc2010.com/sustain-it#TomWorthington>.

Perhaps I will make my subtext "Bringing Nicholas Carr Down to Earth". ;-)

ps: The last WCC in Australia was in Canberra in 1996:
