I&#8217;ve set aside the entire month of January 2011 to come talk at your company, for free.  I have only the following minimal requirements:<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1) If your organization is located in the Bay Area, and<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2) Will pre-purchase from your favorite bookstore at least 25 copies of my book, and<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3) I can schedule it during January,<br \/>\nthen I will come and speak to your group about What Technology Wants (and anything else!) for an hour.<\/p>\n<p>It is first come, first served, until the month of January is filled. To make scheduling easier you can check this online calendar <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/hosted\/kk.org\/embed?src=kk.org_78aovvosfgdqkli79bhhrcm888%40group.calendar.google.com&#038;ctz=America\/Los_Angeles\">here<\/a> (and embedded below) which will reveal which slots have already been taken. If I&#8217;m not shown as unavailable or &#8220;taken,&#8221; chances are I&#8217;m available. If your group is not in the Bay Area, it may be possible to arrange a webinar or videoconference if you are willing to purchase the minimum number of books, but it has to occur during January.  I will quit February 1st. I would also like to have all engagments settled by the first of the new year.<\/p>\n<p>As long as your org meets the criteria, size is not important. You don&#8217;t have to be in tech. Non-profits, NGOs, schools are great. I am happy to speak at the giant complexes (that&#8217;s you Oracle and Intel), or a group in a larger organization, as well as tiny start ups.<br \/>\nSo, if you would like me to talk to your organization, gratis (and you fit the requirements), send an email to this address: cc@kk.org. We&#8217;ll figure out a time in January that works.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about the book, its summary, how it has been reviewed, etc., on my <a href=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/books\/what-technology-wants.php\">What Technology Wants<\/a> book page.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/hosted\/kk.org\/embed?height=400&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;src=kk.org_78aovvosfgdqkli79bhhrcm888%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%23691426&amp;ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles\" style=\" border-width:0 \" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am still in book tour mode.
