[-empyre-] Thanks!

[Thomas Shevory]

Thank you to everyone for the comments on ambient
media, FLEFF, and other aspects of wired sustainability
this week. You have given Patricia and I much to think
about as we process the FLEFF 2008 program.  I will
only speak for myself here, but I was a bit surprised
that the discussion took the turn that it did, although
Simon's analysis seemed right on point as to why that
may have been the case.  Let's hope that wiredness
does indeed "weird itself out enough to challenge the
complacency that it fosters."  That strikes me as
a direct and important political challenge.

In the meantime, thanks to Renate and Tim for the
opportunity to participate in empyre, and thanks
to Stephanie as well for collaborating with us.

Tom
