I am in Bennington, Vermont. On Thursday at 3:30 pm, I am excited to be giving the inaugural lecture in the Southern Vermont College SVC Lecture Series to Envision the Workplace of the Future: Its Technology, Design, and its Challenges to Employees. I will be talking about privacy. Meanwhile, a number of my consumer colleagues, including Travis Plunkett of Consumer Federation of America, Professor Elizabeth Warren (co-author of the "Two-Income Trap"), Professor Bob Manning (author of "Credit Card Nation"), Tamara Draut of Demos (author of "Strapped") and others will be testifying at a Senate Banking Committee hearing on the unfair practices of credit card companies. At the last minute, a few credit card companies have even apparently agreed to testify. So, if you are in southern Vermont (the Albany, NY area), come hear me at 3:30 pm. If you are in DC, go over to Senate Dirksen Room 534 in the morning. It should be a lively affair. And no matter where you are, you can watch the hearing online Thursday morning.
