Today, I am trying not to be cynical, just trying to be hopeful. Today I am wanting to believe that progress is possible. Not everything I want. Not my ideal world. But something that is better, kinder, happier than today.
That´s all.
Good luck, President Obama – I know things won´t work out how everyone wants, but please don´t disappoint us too much.
Just a quick post to say that I’ve arrived in Curitiba safely – the Brazilians seem to have the nice kind of border controls that now seem long gone in the UK. It is raining incredibly hard now, and we already had a massive electrical storm that knocked out power in our neighborhood for a couple of hours.
Note: this post was interrupted by another power cut last night!
Welcome to the new ‘Notes from the Ubiquitous Surveillance Society’, now on WordPress…old posts are still archived at Newcastle University for those who are interested.
I’m just about to leave for Brazil, were I will be a Visiting Scholar in the Postgraduate School of Urban Development at the Pontifical Catholic University of Curitiba, Brazil for three months.
In the meantime, there’s more to sort out than I have time for, but I will certainly get the relaunch of Surveillance & Society done…
