    You might also note that Keith Hart has made a bit of a renewed commitment to his blog and has a recent post up which indicates he is listening to our concerns. He announces a an new Open Source initiative put together by British social scientists (Africanists). You can find the details at his blog, the Money Bank, under the entry on “The Human Economy. The direct link would be to got to thememorybank.co.uk and read yesterday’s entry.

    He doesn’t shill technology or” brands” but he still manages to be a pretty damn good anthropologist. You know, someone who remains focused on what we should be doing for our discipline and not our selves. (that put in my most obnoxious, sneery tone).
