Live-blogging the Network of Michigan Educators Conference, III

Mike Schmidt of Ford Motor Company’s plenary session. Mike—who was here last year and is back by popular demand—begins by telling us that we’re not in an information economy, in spite of the fact that we’ve heard that roughly 6000 times. We’re in a Conceptual Economy, an idea so complex we don’t even know what to call it. He reminds us that he works for the auto industry— he knows whereof he speaks.

q&a with kate bingaman burt.

You started your brand/project Obsessive Consumption to catalog your everyday purchases. Can you tell us a little bit about how that started? I have always been a big list maker. In my early 20s I worked as an in house designer at a gift company in Omaha.
