I was Noves, Bouches du Rhône, France.

Edit: ( I asked because this event has been largely memorized here over the last couple of days. Our minds memorize quite selectively, but for this very special event everyone I asked around here knew exactly where he/she was)

The Singularity is an unbelievable idea.

Hello, I've read some on the site you gave, but now I get a lot of broken links there. I'm afraid they are already amongst us.
