at
http://www.transhumanism.org/pipermail/wta-espanol/2003-December/000077.html
i found a message form him dated December 4, 2003, referring to a
conference (CONTACT 2004) to be held in the year 2004.
the above message should mean that he hasn't vanished utterly

Hi WIllard,
Don't know, but it's a beauty - I'd also be keen to be able to reference it
properly.
Nardi and Schiano may be easier to find that Funaro - they use the same
line in a presentation online at
hci.stanford.edu/cs377/nardi-schiano/CS377d.020404.pdf
(although they may simply have ripped it off from the other source).
Wunsch is also lovely. I have a meeting with the Aust Academy of Science
tomorrow when I will try it out...
Cheers,
John.
