Up North

…here I come!

Found this story about getting arrested in the London subway when browsing through this mornings news feeds in Blam.

I find it really disturbing when war against terrorism has gone to the length of harassing your own citizens and also to assume everyone is guilty and treating them as such both before and after they’ve stated that the person didn’t have a bomb in his bag.

I mean, if they thought he had a bomb in a bag, why go ahead with a full blown search in his apartment when they figured he had no bomb, or anything else of interest?

Wiki notified, check
Flight booked, check
Hotel booked, check
USA valid passport ordered, not yet

So, apart from not having ordered a new passport (rumors tell me that my passport isn’t valid in the US so I need to get a new one), I’m all set for going to the Boston Summit 2005. Been wanting to go each year since it started but two years ago we had just started Imendio and had better use for the money elsewhere and last year we were too busy. This year is busy as well but should be possible to cram it into the schedule.

Only bad thing is that I’ll be away from Emma and Carina for 5 days.

Going to be great to meet with everyone again.

*update: my passport isn’t machine readable, that’s why it’s not valid.*
