Hasta La Ideas

Project Infusion, the 2009 IDSA National Conference, kicked off in Miami Beach last night. After an introduction by members of the Brazilian orchestra Cartola Par Todos, the opening remarks were delivered by uber-mechanic Story Musgrave, who extolled the virtues of simplicity, reliability and quality in design and life. Over more than 60 years he’s fixed farm tractors, trucks, airplanes, jets and the Space Shuttle. When the Hubble Telescope needed to be repaired, he was the one who did it.

The next few days will feature a number of outstanding presentations by a host of Core77 contributors and moderators, the annual portfolio review and our own Miami Nice Party, tonight!
