John Perry Barlow: One cool cat.
I often read up on the future of the internet and where it is all leading. I think that with mobile technology, movments like FON, and Skype it's easy to see that in the future Google will be the dominate player and often catches your eye, but other things do too: Swarm intelligence, the open source community, the two Steves (Apple, Inc. founders) but where are the individuals? Where is th L. Ron Hubbard of it all, excuse me, LRH is simply a sci-fi writer, but not nearly as talented as PKD... uhem, in any case, where is the father of cyberspace? I think it might be this fellow below, John Perry Barlow.
I liked the fact that he wrote in his short biography that he wants to be remembered as a good ancestor, that is very cool. My ancestry lives in the Sioux blood of American soil and the rocks of Ireland, but so what, what am I going to do to make the world a better place? Only time can answer that, I hope to be remembered for something worthwile, I hope that you are too. John will.
I have posted some pictures of me in North America last month, both in a Mexico border town and in LA off Hollywood Blvd (Oscar night) in the United States. Cheers.

Watch out on putting PDK over LRH... you don't want to arouse the litigous wrath of 'you know who'... (not that I disagree)
