....there is a new post, maybe of interest? Anthropology of Habitat and Architecture: The five main lines of the evolution of culture". You will find it at the OAC-Blog site and in the photo-section.

Thanks for the add. I actually work similarly on visual media and "nation-building." I was also at the U of Bremen not so long ago for the American Indian Workshop. Can't say I enjoyed the city in February though :P

Hi John,

Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, I have, but I have it at home, so tomorrow I'll send it to you, ok Thanks for your comment, and, please, join us at our page.

I am very interested in mobile phones in Africa. Of all the platforms for the digital revolution only mobile phones have a built-in payment system. the web doesn't and this is a major problem. East Africans have lept at the chance to take advantage of this and in many ways they lead the world now as innovators. This may not in itself overcome the tremendous obstacles to economic development there, but, if I had said five years ago that parts of Africa are leading the world in commercial and other applications of mobile telephony, who would have believed it?

Money does many things, but I have come to believe that one of its chief functions is to mediate the extremes of everyday particulars and the universe we inhabit, our finite needs/desires and the infinite potential of the world.
