Re: [-empyre-] go this way

["Lucio Agra" <agra21@click21.com.br>]

Dear Chris
I do not know if it interests you or not - after all it would be another proposition - but I wonder if you ever imagined such a strategy using historical events. For example, take the nowadays Joyce´s Bloomsday commemmorations. What would be your opinion about a "wireless map" like this for the Joycean Dublin? I propose it just as a question, for curiosity, so it does not mean I think it could be a "good" or "bad" use for tecnology...
