Delivering this talk was Yeah Sessions regular Ryan Mitchell Wittingslow. Ryan is a profligate man of philosophy, and in this talk he explores the implications that technology holds for us, in terms of extensions to the human self, and the moral values we attribute to objects in our vicinity.

Ryan is doing a PhD at Sydney University, researching transhumanism and bioethics. Check out his academic profile here, read some of delectable writing here, and get in touch with Ryan via his Twitter feed.

Yeah Technology - 09/01/2013 - Sustainability @ Yulli's

Yeah Technology was held at Yulli's Bar & Restaurant in Surry Hills, on the 9th of January 2013.

We were lucky enough to have Karl as our first speaker at Yeah Technology - we've edited and uploaded the video, which can be viewed by whacking a clicky here, or by casting your eyes upon the video embedded below. 



The talk was delivered by the inimitable Karl - the co-owner and co-founder of Yulli's restaurant. The venue in which we host the Yeah Sessions has been a staple of Crown St for a while now, and its popularity grows every day. Karl's focus on injecting a philosophy of sustainability into the bar, through the use of various new technologies, is a significant move, and will hopefully encourage the adoption of these ideas across other establishments in Sydney.
