Is the Internet magical?
I was faced with this question as I was invited to give a talk in Rome at La Sapienza by Marinella Ceravolo who's doing a project about magic. it was also great to see Alessandra Vitullo who's expert in digital religion.

Today is 15 years since I graduated my MA, which means it’s 15 years since I put on a cow costume in a public square and I loudly read a poem about my most embarrassing secrets.

Freedom of religion conference in Barcelona has taught me:
- that I can listen to research from 9 to 7 if the research is good
- that Barcelona is beautiful also in the winter
- that my mind is still sharp but my body is not so I can’t go partying at conferences
- that I can listen to research from 9 to 7 if the research is good

I’m at the freedom of religion and belief conference in Barcelona and I love that it’s absolutely multi lingual, with panels in Spanish, Catalan, English, Portuguese, and I’m hearing Italian, German, Dutch.
