One more sleep until I take off for the UK to attend the Oxford Internet Institute Doctoral Summer Programme. The recently published schedule and participants’ bios [link removed on request] have built up a healthy level of excitement. I’m looking forward to the intense immersion in key questions around the internet, culture and society, working with some very interesting-sounding people from all over the world, and getting to know the two Brisbane-based buddies who are also attending even better.

Additionally, I’m excited about catching up with old friends in London, hoping for sunshine, and putting up a show of bravado about the warm beer. I’ll also be on the hunt for boring postcards to send out by snail mail. This could be quite a challenge in picturesque, iconic Oxford. If I find any and get near a scanner I’ll show and tell.
