Hi folks - I’m disappearing for about ten days and am going to be largely offline during that period, which means no blogging. Enjoy the silence. I’ll be back online on June 27th.

(There are half a dozen people I owe phonecalls to who read this blog regularly. Please accept my apologies, and I’ll be easier to reach once I get back from this trip. June has been a bit crazy thus far.)

In the meantime, please check out Rebecca’s great experiment with Microsoft Spaces in China - it’s an interesting commentary on the sorts of constraints companies are working under when they work in China.
