Lex Ferenda

This week, I’m at the Society of Legal Scholars annual conference in Durham (that’s in the north-east of England, for all those who said ‘where’s that?’ to me this week). Previous discussion here.

I’m speaking in the third cyberlaw session (Thursday morning), delivering a paper, Mass-aging Internet Law for Unwise Crowds (PDF). If you’re reading this and also going to Durham, say hello, and try to get me to come to your talk - it’s very hard to pick (here’s the programme (PDF)).

No idea whether there will be any live blogging…

Search Engine (witty title, eh?) is a new CBC Radio show about ‘the Internet’, with a focus on collaboration and new platforms. It was featured as this week’s Editors Choice and it’s a very good show. Of course, there’s a podcast.
