MUST READ: The New York Times > Movies > Will Michael Moore’s Facts Check Out?<\/a><\/p>\n

Did you guys know that Telkom is setting up T-Zones<\/a> – 802.11b (WiFi)<\/a> hot spots – around the country? Not sure how many are planned, but you KNOW I’ll be testing the one over in Rosebank as soon as I get back from the states with my new Airport enabled laptop. In other SA news, I think Clive Kellner,<\/a> the new director of the Johannesburg Art Gallery, is a pretty alright guy. I’m hoping I can help him see the JAG to new heights, and he can help me get my first solo exhibition up and running as I imagine it (hehe). Additionally, Carine Zaayman reports<\/a> on Creative Commons<\/a> in the above linked article, but leaves out that they are hoping to start a South African branch (I spoke to one of their representatives recently, thanks to Marcus Neustetter)….<\/p>\n

Congrats to my Wits students for a fab show!<\/p>\n
