Off to Londontown...
This evening I'm off to London for the Commonwealth Network Society Summit. I'll be moderating a panel Monday afternoon on the digital divide and building communities of activists and practitioners to bridge it. Many IT ministers from across the British Commonwealth with take part in the event, so it should be a great opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world.
I arrive in London early Sunday afternoon and will hopefully get together with my Aussie cousins John and Sissy (John lives in London, Sissy is visiting). I'll then be at the summit all day Monday, then return to the US first thing Tuesday, just in time to have dinner with Susanne and the kitties before catching some shut-eye and heading up to NYC at the crack of dawn Wednesday for a meeting at the UN. Then back to work for a couple of days before repacking my bags for Dubai.... Yes, it's gonna be a hectic week.
I'm trying to pack light for this trip, given the fact it's only for two nights. But I'll be sure to bring my new digital camera and a good book for the airplane -- perhaps Albert Hourani's History of the Arab Peoples, which I've been meaning to re-read for a long time, especially with my Dubai trip coming up next week.
So, the next time you hear from me will probably be from the UK. Until then, hope you all have a good weekend.... -ac
