with the dust off my body, and water around me in sufficient quantities, i can once more muse on this blog. one very nice person i got to know on this trip is chris kelly, berkman alumnus and currently running for office in palo alto.
from my limited personal experience with politicians, chris really cares and has a clue. he is working on privacy issues in his day job, so i quizzed him on the transparent society. chris wants to shape a policy around brin’s notions which sounds sensible to me.
