Barbara McQueen's opening in SF
Last Saturday I was walking up Sutter street in San Francisco in search of a restaurant, having just checked in to my hotel. A lady approached me and remarked on my little badge with an RDF Icon pinned to my grey pullover, wondering what it was about. She herself had two large badges, one of which read "Borat for President!", under the smiling picture of the comedian. She then went on to invite me to an exhibition opening down the road. I followed a little bemused, and ended up indeed in the opening of Barbara McQueens exhibit of photos, many very nice ones of the late Steve McQueen. There were a few drinks and nice finger food so I stayed around to hear her speak, and ended up meeting Barabara Traub (photo of her) who has just recently published a new Book Desert to Dream: A Decade of Burning Man Photography, a collection of stunning pictures of the crazy desert festival.
So in one go I linked up the Semantic Web, Steve McQueen, Burning Man and Borat.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
