[-empyre-] dinner with julian oliver

[Julian Oliver]

Melinda, thanks for the fine entre.

i look forward to contributing to - and perhaps even seeding -
discussion on Empyre. right now i'm teaching week one of a two week
workshop called Inclusiva-net at the Medialab-Prado, Madrid. for this
reason things might be a little quiet at my end for a week or so..

speak soon!
