What happens when the digital tools and platforms we make and use for communication and entertainment are hijacked for terrorism, violence against the vulnerable and nefarious transactions? What role do designers and developers play? Are we complicit as creators of these technologies and products? Should we police them or fight back? As Portfolio Lead for Northern Lab, Northern Trust's internal innovation startup focused on client and partner experience, Antonio will share a mix of provocative scenarios torn from today's headlines and compelling stories where activism and technology facilitated peace—and war.
As a call-to-action for designers and developers to engage in projects capable of transformational change, he'll explore the question: How might technology foster new experiences to better accelerate social activism and make the world a smarter, safer place?
Essential things that should always be in your carEason Chan
A driver can bail out of a lot of sticky situations if he plans ahead. More often than not, things go south on you when you think nothing could go wrong. So it pays to hope for the best and plan for the worst, especially on the road. Here are some things that should always be kept in your car for all those just in case moments.

This is the article that was written by the good people over at Canoe & Kayak Magazine for their new SUP Magazine.
I was asked to help them organize a SUP trip on the Central Coast. What better place to do that than the Big Sur Coast.
Accompanied by the crew from Canoe & Kayak Mag and my friend Fletcher Burton this trip had everything. From trying to figure out where to actually put in with all the gear required for a multi trip SUP paddling adventure, to actually standing on a dead blue whale (NOT advisable!), to finding perfect 2-4 foot waves amidst the incredible scenery of rocky caves and alcoves.
Enjoy!

A Brief Tour through the Geology & Endemic Botany of the Klamath-Siskiyou Rangemark madsen
A hotspot of diversity for rare plants, butterflies and birds, the Klamath-Siskiyou region of southern Oregon is a scientist's (and naturalist's) paradise. This is transverse range running from the Cascades range to the Pacific Ocean, creating an east-west corridor between the coast and the volcanic Cascades range. Mark Madsen’s love of biology while living in the area for 15 years sparked an interest in botanical taxonomy in the world of serpentine soils and the plant communities thriving in the region, including remnant species from the last ice age.
