The subject being [...]

Scriberia in WIRED
The latest edition of WIRED (December 2011, UK edition) features a summary of the IBM Start Summit we were involved in back in September, strikingly illustrated with a photo of Chris in action. The article also features some little glyphs, pulled from our work on the event, as paragraph breaks.
