Hello,

We're running a series of five excerpts from our forthcoming book 
Designing for Emerging Technologies, a compilation of works by industry 
experts in areas of user experience design related to genomics,
robotics, the Internet of Things, and the Industrial Internet of
Things. The most recent excerpt, Thinking with things, is available
now.

P.S. We've renamed this newsletter and program to include more
communities beyond user groups. More on the name change next time.

Deadline for TechFest2014 is March 31st (Pittsburgh, PA, June 7)

This is the third edition of the non-denominational software
development technology conference in Pittsburgh. Any topic related to
software development on any language or platform (or no technology, if
you wish to talk about the softer side) is welcome. They had a wide mix
of topics and presenter levels (beginner to professional) last year and
would love to have that again. If you are newer to speaking and feel
intimidated by trying to pull together a full-length presentation, they
also have a time period of 30 minute talks, which can also be a good
length for a narrowly focused talk. The event is June 7, 2014 at La
Roche College in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. They expect around
300 people to attend. Please submit your talks.
