Books to read
My latest shipment from Amazon arrived today…
I’m looking forward to Joseph Stiglitz’s new really new Making Globalization Work. His first book on the subject Globalization and Its Discontents…seemed maybe a bit hostile?
Also received feedback from MIAD grad Matt Spannem that Glenn Reynolds’ An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths would be right up my alley…sorry for the delay Matt, but I finally have it. Looking forward to the journey.
The growth of Internet2…now merging with the National Lambda Rail … maybe I2NLR is now connecting to Bolivia. As part of World Communications Day last Friday, Bolivia demonstrated its connections to the Latin America Cooperation of Advanced Networks (CLARA) and relay to Internet2.

Identity 2.0
While a lot has been written about securing your identity on the internet, we still have a long way to. This interview includes Dick Hardt from Sxip. I think OpenID has merits. go.[quicktime]http://www.sxip.com/files/videos/cbc_news_may07.mp4[/quicktime]
I hope one day we can ALL log into an internet and have a safe, secure ability to prove who you are while engaging in conversation, learning or commerce.

CALEA the day after
So what was all the fuss over CALEA forcing colleges and libraries to comply with FBI wiretapping guidelines? Outside of Cisco registering its biggest sales quarter in history, the lawsuits did not appear to be valid. But American University has stopped offering public internet access in their library.
Could the US Government actually force all colleges and libraries to upgrade network equipment to permit wiretapping?  Impractical to say the least. Did I miss the the CALEA upgrade from Cisco?
