As broadcast live on Chinese national TV, and announced by the People’s Daily Online, now a second nation alongside Russia is capable of sending a human crew in space for extended missions. I wonder when the US will also gain this technological capability?

Remote participation in conferences, and exhibitions
When I have started listening to ITconversations, and following more closely certain blogs, what I realized that you can very efficiently collect a lot of what you would personally experience by physically visiting a conference or an exhibition.

Creative Commons Italy Launched!
I just came back from the launch event of Creative Commons Italy, and shot some (amazingly bad) photos of Lessig’s speech, which was very eloquent. Larry was a little late, as he just came in from his flight, and after he spoke, he had to endure three – four Italian language presentations! I couldn’t be
