Society for Philosophy and Technology (257 words) |
 | Two travel awards of $500 each are available from SPT for those holding or pursuing advanced degrees in both philosophy and engineering. |
| SPT publishes Techné (a bi-annual journal), the proceedings of its international conferences, and the quarterly SPT Newsletter. |
| Membership in SPT is open to individuals whose work is in keeping with the interests of the Society—including those who have an advanced degree (typically but not necessarily in philosophy), those who are in a technological field, and students whose work includes philosophically significant considerations of technology. |

Strawberry Pop-Tart Blow-Torches (959 words) |
| The toaster and SPT both had to be properly prepared for this experiment. |
| In order to guarantee that the SPT would receive sufficient heat to begin combustion, the toaster was set to its highest setting and the lever was jammed in the "down" position using adhesive cellophane. |
| Next, the toaster and SPT were taken to the driveway, and an extension cord was arranged to provide power to the toaster. |
