Edge Dinner - Tuesday Night - Final Details
Dear All,
Re: the annual dinner Tuesday Night, EDGE doesn't do SWAG (Stuff We All Get), but there are benefits!
(1) The opportunity to become the first beta-testers for the newly-engineered EDGE Website. We are unveiling the beta-site for the EDGE dinner. You have the very first look:

(Thanks to UI designer Ronna Tannenbaum: http://www.edge.org/documents/dinners/dinner_index.html#d2003).
(2) The chance to be the first person on your block to read the manuscript for George Dyson's forthcoming book - TURING'S CATHEDRAL (Forthcoming, Pantheon Books, January 2012)
"It is a joy to read George Dyson revelation of the very-human story of the invention of the electronic computer, which he tells with wit, authority and insight. Read TURING'S CATHEDRAL as both the origin story of our digit universe and as a preceptive glimpse into its future."
- W. Daniel Hillis, Inventor, The Connection Machine; Author, THE PATTERN ON THE STONE
"The most powerful technology of the last century was not the atomic bomb, but software — and both were invented by the same folks. Even as they were inventing it, the original genuises imagined almost everything software has become since. At long last George Dyson delivers the untold story of software's creation. It is an amazing tale brilliantly deciphered."
- Kevin Kelly, Cofounderm "Senior Maverick", WIRED; Author, WHAT TECHNOLOGY WANTS
Here's the final, illustrated manuscript in an ePub format to read on your iPad or computer.

(3) DINNER LINE-UP & DETAILS
Below is the line-up for this year's much smaller, and hopefully, quieter dinner. There's no more space. Please don't even ask about bringing additional people. And please keep quite about the dinner. Thanks for your consideration. Any problems we'll be on our cell phones: Max: 917-842-2656; JB: 917-744-8920.
Time: 8pm
Tuesday, March 1st
Place: L'Opera Restaurant
101 Pine Avenue
Lon Beach CA 90802
From the convention center walk up Pine Ave (north). Walk past L'Opera restaurant entrance to a stairwell to the Left that leads underground. This is a private entrance which leads to dining room directly from the street. (Do not use the restaurant entrance.) A staff member will be standing at the entrance of the stairwell with a guest list with pictures so no need to wear your conference badges. (In fact, don't even think of wearing your badges). If you get to Alegria Restaurant you have walked too far.
