My friend Seth (of zombie infocalypse infamy). who has been working on content and community media for our educational laptops, has just started a part-time internship with Yochai Benkler’s new research group, and migrated his blog to this server.  Welcome, Seth!  We’re lucky to still have him at OLPC.
