I am helping to organize and host an event called Digital Disobedience on cyberactivism and culture jamming this Friday with Harvard Free Culture. The event will explore the interplay between technology, activism, and cultural critique. Here are the details if you are local to Cambridge/Boston and would like to drop by:
Digital DisobedienceCyberactivism and Culture JammingFriday, December 1, 18:00Science Center 110, Harvard University
The event will feature talks by:
- Ji Lee, Artist and Creator of the Bubble Project
- J. Salvatore Testa, Defender of Truth and Liberty, Hacktivismo
- Prof. Fred Turner, Stanford University and author of From Counterculture to Cyberculture
- Prof. Carrie Lambert-Beatty, Harvard VES Department, teaching Art and Activism since 1989: Culture Jam
The format will be interactive with short presentations from the speakers and then break-out groups to discuss thoughts and questions with the presenters. A few people have voiced a desire to do some culture jamming of our own afterward. My birthday is the next day so maybe we can have that turn into a little bit of a celebration.

or a documentary about some dude called Zizek? It ain't right.
Seriously though, I hope you're going to talk about the custodial sentence dished out to Grant Stanley and what he's been doing for the last few months, namely time... Otherwise there'll weekend after next there'll be a pro-P2P demo in Milan which I'll get up to and report on.
Hope married life is bliss and happy birthday! I'll raise a glass of wine to you in Rome.

As a result, it's not fair to speculate on what they meant but it seems at least possible that it was tounge in cheek. That is how I understood it.
