Burkina Faso Calendar 
The munich college "Gymnasium Fürstenried West" has a project running for Burkina Faso. If you haven't yet a calendar for the next year or need a little gift for your colleague at university, you should take a look at the Burkina Faso Calendar 2003 (PDF) with impressing photos in color. Just print it out! And then spend some money for the project. Just better than buying a calendar in a shop, they are really expensive.

Comment Dept. of cyberethnologica, kerlone, November 10, 2002 at 9:28:00 PM CET Cognitive Science: Away from Step by Step Semantics In this interesting paper (only for subscribers/universities) the 'neurophilosopher' Patricia Churchland is thinking about a different way of cognitive theory that sees the brain not as something identifying objects in the world by assigning them to one abstract model in the brain, but by embedding them into a larger neural model of the world. As I think, Cognitive Theorys play a huge role in cyberethnology. This article is not the big thing, but it's interesting to know, that there are also nature scientists with philosophic bachground thinking about this topic. You can read a hasty excerpt on my private german weblog. ... Link (0 comments) ... Comment Dept. of tools, kerlone, November 9, 2002 at 9:47:17 AM CET Population Database 
At the United Nations Website is a great database called UNPP, which delivers detailed population profiles of every region and country in the world. You can also take a look at the projected growth of populations, even with parameter, for example only the projected growth of the rural population in Peru until 2050.

The inventor of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee was a 1 November guest on National Public Radio (NPR) Talk of the Nation: Science Friday. Host Ira Flatow and callers from the United States discussed inventions, the Semantic Web, privacy, patents, broadband, "always on" connections, openness, trust, and spam. NPR provides a three-quarter hour audio archive of the show, as well as Mr. Berners-Lee's previous visit to Science Friday in 1999.
Berners-Lee is still a important personality, having some influence on the development of the technology and the standards of the internet.

In Peru a new museum opened, dedicated only to Lord of Sipan, a former King of the Moche Population, Yahoo reports. The Moche lived approximately between 200 B.C. and 1000 A.D. in the dry northwest of Peru. Today they are also famous for their impressive portrait art. And yes, we have books about them in the library!

Today I was at a friend's and he told me about TCPA and a part of the new Microsoft OS, Palladium.
TCPA isa plan of big companies that links hardware, software, and data into a neat package that allegedly is more secure and convenient for users. Or, putting it in simpler terms, it's Microsoft's answer to fixing everything that's wrong with computing today. This changes, if made true, will have an immense impact on the current way we use our computer. And it's also an attack to the GPL (General Public License - a form of Open Source Software) as the first article shows. So - and thats an really interesting cyberethnological aspect - it's an provocation to the ethical elite of the ICT-World. The Open Source people, the Open Information people, the hackers, the privacy defenders, all of them will probably attack this strategies and will offer alternative solutions - if they can. Which way the consumer will go? Which force is stronger?
Here are the three links, which I read and afterwards I was really shocked. Unfortunatelly the first link is in german.
