Wow, Riana's eschatological preaching is about the geekiest thing I've seen all year. (Hint: this is a response to the Wang-Yin-Yu SHA-1 collision attack. Riana is standing in front of the RSA Conference.)

Praveen and Gwen and I went over to Berkeley to see Gilberto Gil, famous Brazilian musician and (it so happens) Ministro da Cultura do República Federativa do Brasil. (Also, close friend of John Perry Barlow's.) It was a good time; Gil played some of his music (which most of the audience, unlike me, knew by heart), and talked about cultural policy issues. He also made a lot of jokes.
When someone asked about how Brazil was affected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Gil said that in Brazil it's known as the FMI, but maybe it would be better to be able to call it the FIM (Portuguese for "end"). But then he gave a straight answer.
The moderator didn't ask my question about copyright, which is understandable, since it looked like hundreds of questions were submitted. Gil is speaking again this afternoon at ABADÁ, so I might get another chance.
