Gutenberg’s PC: The Espresso Book Machine
The Espresso Book Machine brings the flexibility and ubiquity of digital media to the old medium of printed paper books, extending the transformation that Gutenberg's press began, and putting the final say on publishing a book firmly in the hands of the authors and readers.

Letter to a Young Voter
It's late in the election cycle, and I do not know if you have yet registered to vote, but I exhort you as my fellow citizen, my political friend, to go and vote. And after that, to participate in other ways, by reading, commenting, contributing, serving, listening, speaking, advocating. Politics grows from the practice of everyday life in the presence of strangers and friends. It doesn't matter whether you have everything figured out yet -- just participate. Be devoted -- make a sacrifice of devotion -- to the city and nation in which you have found yourself. They are your family, and they need you.
