Acknowledging the folks who supported my S.NET 2012 work

Whose electric brain? (2011) which morphed into Zombies, brains, collapsing boundaries, and entanglements (2012)

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my dream of presenting my paper, Whose electric brain?, at the 2011 International Symposium on Electronic Arts in Istanbul. I am stunned by your generosity. ETA Jan. 16, 2014: I never did get to the Istanbul conference but this money and some additional funds did get me to the University of Twente, Netherlands to present at the 4th annual S.NET (Society for the Study of Nanoscience and Emerging Technologies) conference in October 2012. After that, my conference paper was published in the Fall of 2013 as part of the conference proceedings.
